Definitely prefer the latest picture. The slightly more yellow tinge compliments the greens nicely, and provides a pleasing transition into the various shades of red.
Here is the photo from the last photo-shoot (2 weeks ago) but with top. I cut off the top on the previous images because I missed the fact the cover has some uglyness at the left. I must remember to avoid fill the water up to the cover. :-/
Today I had "a-ha" moment. This is utterly overgrown tank. It seems I've missed that point when it was the right for photo. But I can't see it often enough, it's in the other part of my city.
Thanks Dantrasy. I'm not sure what is the scientific name for needle java fern, but I've used sp. that called here in Ukraine as "narrow" java fern.
I also have in another tank sp. "Taiwan" which is even more narrow than that.
Sent this photo to GAPLC contest. Honestly, I'm not very satisfied with result (169/201 in standard category). But I understand the tank not in the best condition for contest. It's definitely overgrown. Also got the last rank (3/3 place) in ukrainian "tank of the month" contest on aquaforum.ua.
If I were crazy about reaching the top then such low results may affect me. Glad, I'm not.
Hi Alexander, Congratulation on you ranking " If I were crazy about reaching the top then such low results may affect me. Glad, I'm not"
We do it for the pure enjoyment we get out of our hobby and doing the best we can. Plus there's always next year 😉 I found the most stressful bit😱 Was taking the photos i must of taken a few hundred if not more
Thanks, Roy. Yep, the photo shot is the hardest part 🙂 No, wait, it's easy. Just shoot. But then you have to select something good for application. That's the hardest part 🙂
This friday we discussed with Julia what to do with this tank. It's totally overgrown now. One can hardly imagine this tank has a nice piece of wood somewhere there, under the plant mass.
Just 2 pictures, so you can compare:
So, we decided to go to square one and rework the layout with less plants. But, today I found incredible piece of wood on local pet bazaar (do you have pet bazaars in UK? Something like flea market but about pets?). I want to use this new wood, I love it. Also, I'd like to make something blackwater-ish, biotop-ish, but I suspect anyway in the end I will end up with something more plant-ish, as usual.
Hi Alexander, All scapes come to an end 🙁
Exiting to be starting a new one😀 Pet bazaars No i don't think we have them in England ?? We do have flea markets though.
That is one superb piece of DW. I love the roots structure🙄
Thanks Roy,
I love these small tiny roots, all over the wood. Hope they will last for several months, at least. Have no idea what the kind of the wood it is though. My guess it's willow.
