Well...
Mr Amano will be always #1 for me
CAU guys are good but i don't specially like they work - many of them (BUT NOT ALL

) are too colorfull and "candy-look" for me

(this is only my opinion). Last Wayne Sham layout (with trees) was worse ever for me - he can make much, much better.
There is many good aquascapers in the world. Sometimes one good layout make you master and everybody remember that even if rest of your scape is poor.
I really like Fumio Shiga - he is master of ryuboku and he is always in TOP of ADA contest. See his layouts for IAPLC 2005, 2006, 2007 - ALWAYS IN Honour Prize !! This is true master and he looks like samurai to me
ps. Is suprise for me to see my name with some world-knowed aquascapers
