Thanks chaps I'm sure your fed up looking at these tanks of mine by now though better get something new up quick!
I honestly thought I had entered both of these aquascapes in the same small tank catagory in the competition. I dont think I would have enterd both of them if I knew they were going to be in different catagories because lets face it they look pretty similar, one is a copy of the other really. I thought I had read in the entry guidelines (nearly sure I did) that the small tank catagory was under 100 litres and both of my entries would have fitted that rule, with my ADA tank at 97 litres so just about under and the other 54 litres. I cant find the guidelines now on the website, I thought I had printed it off and went looking for it last night but couldn't find it. They also cropped one of my shots (minor complaint), actually I no complaints, how could I
but I was pretty sure I had entered both in the same catagory and I thought well, sure if they dont like one they might like the other, little did I know!
Well done to George though, definitely kept that one quiet, some great comments (and lots of them, nearly every entry was commented upon, some of them right on the mark, spot on for judging IMHO) ADA has to be next George
very well done though mate some serious amount of work there I'm sure, many hours, a thankless task as well for the most part. Kudos to you mate 8)
Bob Vivian, who is Bob? what handle does he go under around the planted forums? tbh I didn't think his commentry was that harsh, some of his judging I thought was very good as well. Karen Randall has lots of experience at this stage, probably one of the most experienced judges around, some of her commentry can be quite harsh as well but I think people just accept it because she is so experienced and so they accept what she has to say. Takashi Amano, he's not bad either
Some of the best tanks in the competition were in the large and x large section IMHO.
Pity no one else from UKAPS placed highly this year, last year I had 3 entries and got nowhere, so stick at it, things can turn around, some good scapers on here at this stage
Anyway just some of my thoughts, overall I enjoyed looking through all of the entries last night, spent a good few hours looking through them, the slow website was driving me bonkers though
