Top write up Steven...for a beginner like myself it is really imformative and helps me already to see the mistakes in my layout (infact its made my tank feel rather crap lol) but IMO thats a good thing,being an art student myself
im used to harsh criticism and being told a painting ive spent hours on is rubbish even if i think its good...criticism is needed in order to progress..same with everything in life
Art is a very hard thing to get right...some people will look at my work and love it..others will hate it..
So is aquascaping the same is there no wrong and right way to do it??? because different things appeal to different people..thats why there are no rule in art..well IMO anyway
