I'm not sure if it's an effect of the lighting or nutrition but the plants look very washed out. While this isn't a photography contest it's not a bad idea to adjust the color settings on your camera in order to show the best colors of your aquascape.

Excellent use of large plantings with the Rotala. That species in particular is shown off best in this manner with all the different colors it exhibits. At this point in time the plantings are a bit overgrown and could use some pruning. Selective trimming to give some shape will help give more visual interest to the aquascape.

Your basic design is nice but you have allowed the stem plants in back to become overgrown. Some judicious trimming will improve the layout a great deal. While photography doesn't count against an entry if you can get your white balance right the initial impression of your photos will improve.

Plants selection is not good. It may be difficult to keep for long term.
