Here it is...a picture of my newly planted 55g. After about 3 hours, I finally got it done yesterday afternoon. I am a beginner when it comes to aquascaping so it's probably not great. It looks much better than it did before.

Here is a before picture...with a few fake plants and a couple real plants. Very unorganized and thrown together.


Here is the after picture.

What do you think? Remember I am a beginner and wasn't sure where to place plants. I do know which plants to place in the fore, mid, and backgrounds though. That is dwarf chain sword in the front. It is taller than I thought it would be though. I just put the different shades and colors together.

It certainly looks a lot better than your first effort. I would like to see some more photos in several months time when the plants have established themselves.

Regardless of the Aquscape the photography is very good and clear.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Thanks Keith. The picture is a little tilted. I'm not a very good photographer. I will definitely post pics when everything has developed and grown more. I am so excited. I like it alot better than before.

Here is a good thread to look at.

Taking photos of a fish tank is extremly hard but I personally think you are way past the beginner in that field. What it required was a little croping and touch up using Photo Shop. I am now using PhotoShop Elements 4 it is not very expensive as it has a very good system for working, storing and sorting out all your photos.

Thanks Keith. I might try to add Photo Shop Elements to my Christmas list. I really need a good photo program. I have never used that version of photo shop, but i used to work for an online business that used the very expensive version of photo shop (not sure what its called though). I wished I had that when I worked there because it was so good. I think I have seen the Elements version in a store before. I will check into to getting that. With the touching up you did, the picture looks much better.
My camera has a closeup mode and that is what I used to take those pictures. I don't use a flash, only the tank lights in a dark room. I learned that trick on this website. I need a tripod because most of my pictures are blurry from me moving. Thanks again!
