This is a uniquely interesting composition that provides an immediate emphasis on the vertical. This layout would benefit from further development below the surface to better emphasize the height being achieved. Plants below the surface grow well in the midground, with the background suffering from a lack of maturity. I would love to see the successful treatment of plants above the surface also applied below in this composition.
Interesting display however the emersed section should be built up more with more details
