IMHO, we can't compare the both tanks... We're talking about different things!
One thing is to create a scenery using a lot of trees even that they weren't in scale, other thing is use only one tree in a small tank, taking in attention to the proportions and all details.
If you use a lot of objects, even that weren’t well done we’ll see it like a composition and not like a unique piece.
Ok, Mr Jang Kae Fuh did it before, but in a different concept… I don’t know if there are more examples of this kind of layout, I didn’t see nothing like this before…

The tree was made with 3 standalone branches, is quite different!
I cut 3 standalone branches in small parts and joined in one piece.
I used Red moorwood to do the tree and I bought it in a shop.

Iwagumi?! NO! Do you know what is an Iwagumi?
This layout can be classified by landscape... Ok... I have used rocks, but it never could be called Iwagumi!

Cheers,
