The variety of leaf sizes and shapes makes this an interesting creation. However the symmetry of the upright plants across the dish could have been broken up by other upright plants or hardscape.

This arrangement presents a densely grown background of various stems which appear to grow in good health.
The same cannot be said for some of the species growing in the foreground near the water portion of this display. Hydroctoyle sp. 'Japan' appears to be yellowing on various leaves a sign of either too much or too little humidity causing the plant to find itself unsure whether it's a submerged or emersed plant.
The hardscape elements do work well with the background plants providing a thicket of sticks and tall stems with impressive height.
