Great job with red plants despite that they are mixed in few points of the aquarium the overall composition is very natural and harmonious.
The acclivity [upward slope] provides the main perspective sense in the diagonal line from left to right but the skyline at the same height reduced this impression of amplitude. Maybe if the left side at the top were lower following the diagonal perspective line the amplitude sensation could be better.
It is very important to create empty areas to allow the observer to rest the eyes and in this layout this area got too small.
Very good shadows and reflections but for me still it has too much wood. Perhaps because the reflection on the right side doubled them.
Last thing: never forget to work with details and dynamism in the foreground and not just put some flat rocks randomly deal?
Congratulations this job is very impactful.
