Memory Area Quoc Hung Vu VIETNAM W120×D45×H40(cm) The layout is composed well as iwagumi layout. The selection and arrangement of stones are very good, and the aquatic plants also match with the color of stone. The creator spread cosmetic sand like a flowing river, but it did not create a depth. The perspective could have been more emphasized if a larger stemmed plants thicket on the left side, and smaller thicket on the right.

IAPLC 2010 World Ranking 11 ‘Drizzle’
Drizzle Wang Chao CHINA W120×D55×H50(cm) The creator expressed a natural feeling well with stones, driftwood, cosmetic sand and mosses. The way stemmed plants in the background grow also looks natural. The overall impression and natural look is very positive, but the arrangement of driftwood, and their angles did not make a good impression. The layout could be different if driftwood angles were a bit lower as they seem too wide.
