Really lovely imagery and good flow. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you are short one syllable in your last line. This is an easy enough fix to have a very good tanka.

This is a sky-theme tanka with a beautiful presentation. It offers an intriguing photograph? / painting? --I'm not sure which it is-- to accompany your message. Best wishes in the contest!

Fish tank a contest entry was well-written rich in Theme and Imagery.
It read well and Flowed well with no Grammar Issues as well.
...
Adjective and Objective Contents were both Excellent and Exceptional while Descriptive Measures aligned Perfectly.
Thanks,

This tanka, Midnight Skies, looks good and gives an awesome description of the star-blasted darkness of the deep blue universe.
