These tanks are really works of art. There are many elements of these tanks that without the proper lighting we would not get the same feeling from.
These are very clean looks that photographers would die for. For all who submitted my hat is off to you.

These are all gorgeous, but I notice that all of them seem to be trying for the same thing- creating a miniature submersed version of a full-sized terrestrial landscape. You could apply the same techniques to create a beautiful tank that takes greater advantage of its aquatic nature.
thats thats what they try to acheive, a "submerged landscape". there are too many naturual FW environments that look all that great really. a few leaves, a few branches and thats it. its not like a reef.Noto;3340429;3340429 said:
Bah, I've seen some gorgeous natural aquascapes. Besides, "naturalistic" and "Japanese landscape diarama" are not the only options. These tanks have no floating, drifting, or floating-leaved plants, things impossible in a terrestrial landscape. I realize the appearance of such plants is harder to control, but that should be taken as a challenge!
to each his own really. i think its a much bigger challenge to create a terrestial landscape underwater using aquatic plants. if were to photograph those just the right way, it wouldnt even look like an aquarium.Noto;3340468;3340468 said:
now THAT is impressive
It's not that I dislike this style of aquascaping. I just don't see why the entire top ten list is composed of tanks done in this one style, unless the contest was only open to tanks of that style. I didn't read the original article, so I don't know if that was the case.
