This is my 10 Gallon.
I'm trying to learn aquascaping.
I request anyone's ideas and comments.
I'll see how it goes in the coming months.

Looks nice! :) Maybe try out a background and add tall plants?
 
I would go with black because of the dark substrate. But that's JMO.
I think your tank looks FANTASTIC!!! I wish mine looked that good! What kind of fish do you have in there?
 
The white sand is actually a "river". There is ADA Aqua Soil on either side of it.
I planted a bunch of HC on the left side. The left portion of "land" is framed by a curved piece of drift wood which I have planted with Riccia.

The Fauna consists of:
3 Pygmy Rasbora (will add more once bioload is safe)
2 SAE
1 Oto

There are also some MTS in there
 
It really looks nice. A black background will give it more depth. I don't think I would add any more tall plants, give these a chance to fill in and grow out.
 
Black Background added.

Thanks for the recommendations. I like the black.

Thanks everyone for the kind remarks.
I'm not happy with the right half of the tank. I can't decide what to do on that half.
 
Here are some more photos.
I cleaned up some of the mess in the far right corner. I hope consensus is that it looks better.
The stem plants should fill in quickly.
I have been trimming the Riccia almost daily. (please ignore the rock holding the cage down. I am hoping the Riccia will root onto the driftwood.)
I also added 6 more Pygmy Rasbora.
Please request angles or close-ups if desired. I'll take them when requested.
