I think you have tried to use the driftwood to form repeating shapes. Sometimes this can be an effective tool. However there are SO many pieces of driftwood that the eye gets caught in and endless loop among them and can't move on to the quite nice arrangement of plants. The piece of driftwood sticking up in back with the moss on it is particularly distracting. You have good ideas and your plants are doing great but you need to fine-tune it a bit.

Very natural looking layout. The wood looks as if it was placed by a stream. Very nice.

I think the wood with the moss could be removed in this case.

Nice natural looking tank. Two things would really make this tank stand out. Remove some of the wood - it is overpowering. Move the Cyperus just to the right of the fern covered wood on the left. Good job on a healthy tank.
