32.4L Riparium From Above & Below

Kyle Armstrong · Australia

INSPIRATION A lot of my inspiration comes from where I grew up, in rural Australia. I would often spend my childhood in dams, creeks and rivers but I would also spend a lot of my childhood trying to escape my poor upbringing, watching movies whenever I got the opportunity. I remember watching Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away for the first time when I was 6, and it's stuck with me ever since. The grasslands and rocky streams that Chihiro walks through with her parents in the beginning and end of the movie heavily inspired the feeling I wanted to evoke with this 缸体. During Spring and Summer I would tip my toes into the refreshingly cool creeks and streams. That initial 1 to 2 meters of space from the shore of the creek to the shallows of the water, is one of my favourite areas to explore and relax. These areas are typically teaming with life and biodiversity with many 植物 and organisms fighting for space and resources. When creating this aquascape I imagined it being a cropped out section of a creek bed as it transitions to land. FERTILISATION - CO2 injected from 8am to 4pm daily. Seldom fertilised Masterline All in One Golden - wasn't very strict on fertilisation with this 缸体. PLANT NOTES - unfortunately, the Mimosa Pudica was sleeping during the photoshoot, as I took it during the night. It would have been nice for it to be opened up, but alas, it was not meant to be. It has some flower blooms that were just opening, they would have been a nice pink addition. PHOTO EDITING NOTES - for the final edited photo I skewed the image to be parallel to all edges of the frame. - I removed some parts of the 背景 the clean it up and bring focus to the 缸体 such as; removing light reflections from 背景 to allow for more room above the scape and lengthening the 右侧 to make it even with the 左侧 of frame. Please note, the aquascape itself has not be tampered with besides colour correction, only some 背景 elements behind the 缸体 which should be evident in the attached photos.
