Yes I know, but I thought the tank's layout had been inspired py the two first pictures and I still don't see the connection...

its really nice, except i think it would be better if the gravel in the middle was changed to moon sand

I like the layout a lot. I really like the stone path. I like it so much that I feel the red plant (alternanthera?) in the top middle needs to go. I feel the whole scape would be better off without it.

What kind of fish is pictured there?

This tank is really well executed.

If there's anything disturbing about the tank, it is probably that it is a bit divided-- the individual parts are so strong that they do not combine.

The alternanthera is very powerful, and my first instinct is that it is too strong. However, I like how you have combined it with the thin-leaf hygrophila. I am convinced that the Alternanthera could be subdued a bit, if they thin leaf hygro was grown more thickly and extended-- maybe replace the rotalas in back with more thin leaf hygro.

There is also maybe too drastic a distinction between the left and right sides. Obviously from the middle separaction, but moreso because the grass (tenellus? lilieopsis?) is so strong and thick. Maybe if some of the pink hygro could be brought to the left back corner, there would be more harmony between the two sides. Or else, maybe replace the micranthemoides (which seem too weak and out of place next to the alternanthera) with the pink hygro.

Good luck!

PS-- I really like the effect of combining that subdued blue background with the cool grey rock foreground. Nice inovation

My interpretation:
Both photos have a pathway element (e.g. the canal) which narrows in the distance and the aquascape has a pathway that narrows toward the back of the tank.
