Yay for starting a planted tank! Looks like a jungle.

But, just as a suggestion, I think the setup would be a little more interesting if you added hardscape elements like driftwood or stones.

I planted today but too embarrassed to sow yours is a jungle and mine is more like a speck of grass in the middle of the road lol. I was scared to invest too much and do too much at one time, so I only planted 3 small ones and I will see if I kill them before I buy more.

Love both of those pictured!

Yea I think I will do that with the hardscape

I agree on the other other post on adding hard scape. They can become a focal point and help define sections of the tank. IMO I would move the swords towards the back of the tank since they get tall. It will allow you to appreciate the fore and mid ground areas. Grouping similar plants is sometimes helpful. Also, try to avoid symmetry; one of my last efforts resulted in something that looked like a planted crop (evenly spaced, in rows) which wasn't really natural looking.
Good luck with this.

It's looking much better... Great job! If you get driftwood, I recommend Malaysian driftwood. Don't forget to boil it first to reduce tannins leaching and discoloring the water. Also, you can attach java fern, anubias, and/or moss to it.

Yea thank you for the info

Very nice. I don't recognize the tank. I like the open area in the middle. +1 on the Malaysian DW. Manzanita is nice as well.
