This is an exceedingly beautiful display boasting very colorful and healthy growth above the surface. Carnivores and orchids show great pigmentation against dramatic hardscape. The transition from above and below the surface could be better refined. It’s clear that care has gone into the development of the submerged portion of this layout, though, it’s exceedingly overshadowed by the drama above the surface. Overall, a great display with a tremendous sense of height. Well-done!

Nice arrangement. Big leaves of begonia offset by some detail of the moss. Pele’s hair was a nice touch although I can see a hanging wire for it, as well as the background equipment (fogger/mister/watering system) which should have been hidden.
