Default "Evening Sun"

I decided that my vacation time would be well spent at putting together my first "real" aquascape, as opposed to just growing plants. I just set it up a few minutes ago. Don't be too harsh, aquascaping isn't my forte. Please do tell me what you would fix/move/change (and why)!

Notes: The rocks are temporarily there to hold the wood down, not rockscaping. There's some scrappy plants in the middle I'm trying to grow out (just got them), so they really aren't part of the aquascape. I've got some moss coming for the driftwood so it won't all be so bare. There's still some work to do.

I'm kind of thinking the big green plant (Hygro. corymbosa "siamensis") is a little jarring for the subdued look I'm trying to achieve; this tank is in my bedroom. However, it is currently intended as a focal point, but I'm missing some plants to relieve the "eye strain" of it.

Oh well...tell me what you think!
