Dont know anything about display but I like this one the best of all I have seen so far

I do have some close ups

what's wrong with this display is that the tree and the scroll images are redundant. You have the image of the cliff/rock with the tree and the scroll shows the same thing. Would have been better if the scroll showed a moon or something like that. Would be better also if the accent represented an animal or small flowering accent.

I agree with buddhamonk as to the redundancy of the images presented. I am also wondering about the small size of the accessory. I can't make it out from the photo, but I am sure it was different IRL. The question is, what is the artist trying to convey here? Is there a season involved? or a theme of some kind?

Other than that, I really like this display, especially the tree and its incorporation to the rock.

The accent represented a turtle, I just didn't shoot a picture of it. I was sort of working

What some see in this display as redundancy, I see as harmony.

The accent is two turtles walking toward the tree. The title was something like, "crossing the river".
