I love this nano! the shakkei composition is I think good. Iwagumi is extremely hard not only hardscape but the maintenance reflect the skill of the designer and you are good!

The two stones leaning against each other gives "expression" and life to the stones. It temps one to seek for a deeper metaphorical meaning. Well done!

What a lovely accent to your room! I like your layout and the arrangement of your rocks. It is a shame however that the stand of Rotala & Mayaca hasn't grown in a little thicker. As it is it interrupts the view of the Eleocharis in front of the rocks. A denser growth there (better yet with a darker colored plant) or no plants there at all might work better.
