Hmm.. I did clean my glass just before the picture. Otherwise I get green dust and if I forget my phosphate, GSA. You can see some algae in this picture. I guess they mean they don't want tanks with prominent algae. Not sure what they mean exactly TBH.
I dare you. 😛I looked, is see some spots of wich i can't say if it's a coloring of the rock or algae.. You know where to look of course, it's your scape.. But it looks pretty clean to me.
I was just wondering how they interpret that rule of engagement.. Would be fun to present a scape with clado balls and Chara and kissing gouramis.. 🙄
#2 in particular is a clever composition and plant choice! Very nice indeed. Who says you need any hardscape at all!!!Our works 🙂

All 3 very beautiful tanks.. But see the fish hanging so close to the substrate in all 3? That's a stress reaction and that's a criterium they judge on. If you manage a more natural behaivor in them with scapes like this, maybe other more bold and less stress susceptible spieces. Behaiving like they should foraging the scape instead off hugging the substrate.. I'm sure you would have ranked higher with these scapes. 🙂
Thank you for suggestions. I didn't notice this before. 🙂

@Alexander Belchenko. Thanks. I really like your photo too. Very good quality. 🙂 How have you done your photo? What equipment do you use?
Wow thanks for posting your setup! What a great insight into what goes into making a nice photo. I am keen to try some of these techniques....Well, for really serious shots I'm hiring special photographer (who charges me quite low for unknown reason), we're working during last year, he has some good equipment, I have some equipment, I know what should we do to get the proper shot, he knows how to work with Lightroom and Photoshop, which I don't really have a practice. Overall I'm happy to work with someone while taking the photos: it's really hard to manage everything right by myself.
One small challenge - is to make a good shot for tank in pet shop, while it's working and people are coming to buy some cat food etc.
