Nice stones. They will tend to darken in time due to things growing on them. That will emphasize the surface texture if there is any. If you want to keep the stones light-colored then you will need to bleach them every now and then and give them a good scrubbing..
My sense of it is that the rocks on the left aren't prominent enough to balance the large grouping on the right. Once you have plants in there the small rocks will be even less prominent and may completely disappear. You might either beef up the grouping on the left or remove it. If you remove it then you will need to move the large grouping a little to the left to preserve the balance.
I'm not clear on what effect you want to get with a background planting of water wisteria. Maybe my imagination just isn't as stretchy today as it sometimes is. You might get a better sense of depth in the tank by using a background plant with darker leaves. Most alternatives will also give you a more manageable aquascape then you will get from water wisteria.
