Your tank looks healthy and bright but it lacks balance. I'd lose the Eleocharis vivipara to start with. I have yet to see this plant used in a way that it adds anything positive to an aquascape. It usually just looks messy.

As simple as it is I personaly think is a lovely planted tank!
the plants are overgrown and thats what make your design special your plants are begining to reach for the ligth and one third of the back is coverd by floating Riccia. find the balanse and your tank will look much better.

There is a good feeling over this layout but I would try to cut back some of the floating branches in the middle in order to provide a feeling of a ray of light coming through.
