Ironically that's what I liked about your AGA submission last year. It wasn't perfect but that's what gave it character. It also had a serene feel to it.

I might get some heat for this but I really like it. It is kind of a modern take on Dutch! Elements of nature style in there too. Def NOT a traditional Dutch but I like the following:
-I love the way shadows are utilized.
-Perspective used nicely that stretches the view from front left to back right.
-Negative space in the front right is very appealing to me as not every cm-squared of the substrate is jam packed with plants.
-Having only a handful of tonina makes a strong statement
-The way the wood is showing enough to break up the row of plants

What I don't like much:
-Having those blobs of moss on the wood!
-Wood is a little dominant although it is thin
-Blob of java moss on the left is a little too unruly
-The street is a little thin and maybe recently planted

just my 20c.

@OmidNiav Kidding of course! I have no dog in the Dutch fight. Nature aquarium lover here but I love examples of those dedicated to the rules of combat in other areas

The more I try at one style the more I appreciate others. Struggling with different things put other stuff into perspective. I'm still trying to learn.
