Nice use of diagonal planting lines. You have chosen very pretty rock to work with but the placement is unnatural. Go out in nature and look at how rocks fit into the landscape. They tend to be in groupings rather than spread more or less equidistantly around the space. With this level of planting and better placement of your rockwork this could be a top ranking tank!

Amazing exercise in creating depth with substrate. This layout is meticulously clean and fresh. I love the way the HC and Hygrophila cascade down the the slopes.

There may be too many strong focal points in the rocks particularly the center and far left rock. They are flat and bold and demand my attention.

Nice tank. The rockwork really needs to be rearranged so that the weight is split between the sides of the tank. The center large rock stands out and detracts from the hardscape. Simply moving it to the left will really make this tank stand out more.
