Introducing World Ranking #11 in International Aquatic Plants Layout Contest 2010. Wang Chao CHINA Title: Drizzle   Dimensions: W120 x D55 x H50 cm (W50 x D22 x H20 inches) Evaluation: The creator expressed a natural feeling well with stones, driftwood, cosmetic sand, and mosses. The way stemmed plants in the background grow also looks natural. The overall impression and natural look is very positive, but the arrangement of driftwood and its angles did not make a good impression. The layout could be different if driftwood angles were a bit lower, as they seem too wide.

Introducing World Ranking #12 in International Aquatic Plants Layout Contest 2010. May Kwan HONG KONG Title: Shou Stone Ridge   Dimensions: W150 x D50 x H55 cm (W60 x D20 x H22 inches) Evaluation: The layout was composed by meticulously arranging perforated rocks. It gives us an impression the creator took time for planting between the rocks, and composing the whole layout well. It is very regrettable the black joint part of the back corner appeared very clearly, which limits the spatial width. It is an interesting layout, but this point became the subject of point loss.
