Elliot the picture is tiny, it just shows up the size of the thumbnail, you may want to fix that, very hard to give a constructive critique otherwise.

If you upload your photo to the gallery, you can upload up to 100kb size file. When you save you photo, make sure you lower the compression with you photo editing software (Photoshop, Gimp (free), etc) saving at 50-75% is usually sufficient for a photo of 400x800 pixels.

Also, you can show a photo here that is stored on another site. Right click on your photo somewhere else, select properties and highlight/copy the "location" url. The use img tags here to make the photo automatically appear. Doing this with your photo on the UK board gives its url as http://www.uk-aquarist.com/uploads/p...1175255975.jpg Paste that url into the box that pops up when you click on the icon of the two mountains, in the reply to/post new section.

Doing that you get.....

@elliott89: By seeing your pic, I found alot of brush algae on the wood and fern leaves as well, be careful with this kind of algae, you can use piton-gift to kill them...

The proportions between left and right feel good, the negative space is well placed, but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. The water looks murky and it seems as though you still have quite an algae battle on your hands. What are you doing to combat it?
