Comments from Mr. Yusuke Homma (Japan)
For my Best Aquarium this year, chose a work that was carefully crafted with time and attention to the growth of aquatic plants. At first, it was not on my list of candidates, but as I looked at the work over and over again, I gradually began to admire the careful workmanship and the beauty of the detailed arrangement of the aquatic plants, and I also realized the profound charm of this work, which is not apparent at first glance. In addition, I highly evaluated the creator's skillful use of shades of aquatic plants as well as the use of tape shaped aquatic plants to express depth, rather than the recent mainstream composition that emphasizes a sense of perspective. Further-more, the use of a black background instead of a brightly-lit back emphasizes the sense of being underwater, and although the work does not have a strong impact, I thought it was the type of work that makes me want to watch for a long time while relaxing. Although this work is a little far from the mainstream of today's contests, I felt that there was even room for daring to go for it. This work made me feel once again that we should evaluate the depth that cannot be seen at a glance, such as the expression of the aquatic plants in the aquas-cape formed over time
