Default Hey, wanna critique my hardscape?

I'm new to this aquascaping business so bear with me. Bellow is a picture of what I've come up with for the hardscape as of right now. I'm about 70% satisfied with it, but something just feels 'off' still. I think it has something to do with my rock group on the left maybe being arranged in a less-than-natural fashion. Perhaps?

The ultimate plan for planting is to have a carpet of Glosso that covers the front of the tank and kind of pushes upward a ways into the center and a little bit up the incline. At about the middle section I'm thinking about starting a kind of loose line of Dwarf Hairgrass that is planted in natural-ish looking clumps around the bases of the rocks and maybe (if it looks right) a few small clumps mixed in with the Glosso. The back of the tank will be a mix of Dwarf Hairgrass Blyxa Japonica and Wisteria. Hopefully the Wisteria and Japonica have the proportions I'm 'thinking' they do, as I'm kinda shooting in the dark since I don't yet actually have the plants.

Anyway I'm rambling like mad simply tell me what you think as I'm probably going to tinker more with it tonight.



(sorry, my photo taking skills aren't the greatest)
