      I like the latest scape better than the first two but there's still something I can't quite put my finger on...

      What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

          needs plants. lol. i like the two piles but they still seem too orderly. too vertical. maybe some stone should lean a bit? they also look like they have been placed on the substrate. maybe get them in final position and then sprinkle substrate down the sides of the stones so that they look as though they erupted from the surface? you have done a better job addressing the depth issue. it must be hard to accomplish depth in a 12 inch deep aquarium with such large stones. planted tanks often do this by a severe slope in the substrate from front to back and also by creating terraces.

              Well its already got fish in it so when i do my next water change I'll change it up a bit. Good idea, I'll probably add more sand in the back to give it a bit of a slope.

                          It would be awesome if you used weights and foam to make the barbie float facedown with the legs and arms dangling. It would make your fish look HUGE!

                          Maybe get a tiny replica TPWD boat to make it look like they are looking for a body...

                              The grouping on the right is good. The left looks fake. All the rocks have vertical(?) stripes and the 3 rocks all have the strips going the same direction. This is picked up in the 2nd rock on the right in the right group thus making both groups look not as good. I'd leave the right group alone I'd move the 2nd rock in the left group to the left so it's the first rock in the group, then the first rock in the group I'd flip onto it's side in front of the big rock, the third rock I'd angle some so the stripes are not the same as the big rock. I'd leave the group on the right alone.
