Wanna make your aquascaping look inferior

I know Amano's altum tank well. Its what I aspire to.

Amano's work is a source of inspiration for many. That tank sits in his own home I believe. Personally I find his work rather stylized, I've enjoyed Heiko Bleher's biotope aquariums much more.

I've seen this tank many time's, one day I am going to have a tank that I have to stand inside to get it scaped. Here is a video of the occupants being fed.

Amano was here in Atlanta a few years ago, for a convention. He aquascaped a tank from whatever plants he could find there, was surprised it came out looking so well in that short a time.

I've never had that eye for aesthetics, my planted tanks look like overgrown messes.

Few people do have his eye. But even for the average person there's a lot to learn. Golden ratio, one or possibly 2 key elements, height differences.
If you want inspiration for the rest of us, Danish plant nursery tropica has layouts on their site: http://www.tropica.com/en/layouts.aspx

Dead easy and visually interesting because of the vanishing point and the different heights of the plants.

This is another

Wow, I like that one. Very simple.... other than the CO2, but still even that isn't very hard

And not that necessary either.
