The rocks look like they don't play much of a role. I would try Making them more vertical so they are more pronounced and even clumpin them next to each other may help. My opinion let me know what you think.

The rocks feel rather awkward but the wood is excellent!

The plants on the wood look great! I hope they don't fill in so much that they completely hide it. The stones look a lot better with plants around them. As the plants fill in they should blend in well. I'm looking forward to seeing how this grows in.

The plants on the wood will give an image of a tree when thrive. The DW already have a character of a tree shape, very nice. Are those Altum angel in the tank? Love them.....Thanks sharing with us.
