Maybe when viewing the tank in real person the tank gives a greatly different feel.

Anyway.... now that I have pointed it out, what do you think about the branches crossing?

Originally, when I saw this scape, I thought that you had purposefully crossed the branches to place tension in that area as compared to the left side. But since it seems not to be done on purpose then maybe I've been over analyzing things .

David , what you said about placing tension is a great way of wording what I did . That area falls off a little and the eye is automatically drawn to the left side . It was not done intentionally for that purpose but your observation is correct . You did not over analyze but better yet helped me in words understand what I was actually doing in this aquascape . I love it ...the dissection of an aquascape .
