I feel like there are too many stones trying to be dominant. There should only ever be one dominant stone, all others should be used to accentuate this dominance within the scale. I tend to find the larger dominant stone placed in the main two thirds area and nearer the front, the second largest placed in the 1 third area and then the next smaller 1 placed towards the rear of the two thirds area. This gave an increased sense of scale and the stones should be titled to naturally bring your eye to the vanishing point. I would start from this ideal point then introduce your woodwork, which needs to become a part of the scape and not just ints own entity. At the minute it feels like it has just been placed and not really part of this scape. Personally I would have that substrate much higher (maybe as much as half the tank height more likely closer to a third) use the stone to accentuate that the rock is a large immovable force not simply a stone that can be picked up with one hand! Once you have the five strong pieces in place you should be able to see how your planting will look and you can then introduce smaller pieces if needed.
