Thanks again for the kind words . I did not intentionally mean for the the branches to cross in the middle section . When I create an aquascape sometimes things happen that are not conventional . I may notice this when creating a layout . Somehow I find reason and purpose with how it relates to what I am trying to accomplish . It is interesting to receive comments on one's "scape" . I never noticed this until it was pointed out .
IMO aquascaping is an art form . I feel that it is important for an aquascaper to create what looks and feels right to the individual . There are design principles that can help guide one to a layout that is "easy on the eyes".When I create an aquascape and it pleases me that is truly all that matters . If I create an aquascpe that others find beautiful that is a bonus and I am grateful . I keep an open mind to criticism . Often that is what can inspire the next layout . My wife is my biggest critique . I recently installed a new Discus aquarium (planted) at my home . After a couple of months she informs me she does not think the layout is all that .Meanwhile Jeff and I are thinking this is the next photo shoot (we still are ) . I asked her what her thoughts were and she explained . What my point is ...AQUASCAPE and enjoy . My post may have gone a little off topic . I do not make time to post that much (fortunately Jeff handles that for us) . I also give much credit to my brother Jeff . He has many talents I do not have .
I am fortunate to have him as my business partner and my brother. You may think that we aquascape together but that has never worked . We share ideas and keep each other balanced . Until I throw him off balance and whack him with a piece of branchy wood.
