Unfortunately your main photo is so over-saturated and contrasty that it is hard to assess the aquascape. The other views are better exposed but do not show the layout as clearly. Still I like the overall design and I love your two "spines" of Anubias. The left side of the tank is better than the right where the mass of Java fern is a little heavy and dark for the rest of the layout.

This is such a great layout especially considering the fact that it is only twelve inches wide and twenty two inches tall. The building up of the midground is creative and excellently executed. My only problem with this aquascape is that the orange hued plants on the left are not balanced by something colorful on the right.
