I voted for #7

I think it is the most unique among all the entries.
The tannic amazonian water is beautiful and the green accents are just enough to draw your attention and keep you interested.

Is that Myriophylum Tuberculatum?
Awesome, advanced plant to maintain!

Congrats on a great tank!

I believe the plant you are referring to is Cabomba furcata.

The more I look at it, the more I like #7. The elements are very well laid out, particularly the driftwood and (almond?) leaves. I love the brown water - it's so unexpected. It really threw me at first, but as time went on, it really grew on me. The contrast between that and the plants is very pretty, but could have been a little more in favor of the plants to balance it better. It seems the green of the plants was intended to be an accent, but it just doesn't quite reach out enough. Overall, an excellent use of texture and color, with a unique application of materials and plants.

By the way, congrats to all who participated! There are some great looking 'scapes here, and I really look forward to future contests!

Just FYI, the top 3 winners, runner-up, and members' choice have been officially posted in the Site Feedback forum in the TOTY 2010 thread.

I've asked the Administrators to unlock the contest entry forum so you can see all the entries, scape details, judges' comments, scores, etc... I'm not sure how long it will be until that forum unlocks.

#3 definitely caught my eye, right away, so my vote goes to #3. The rockwork is simply fantastic and the water is super clear. Fantastic job!
