I like it - nice rock bridge in particular.
regarding the plant, its a little stark and stand alone, and there is a lot of symmetry to the smaller ones in the front. Consider some medium and shorter plants, and spread these in clumps from the sides towards the centre of the tank, scaling down from tall to medium to short - irregular clumps of three work well for some reason.
this would give a nice visual contrast with the shape of the bridge if you can picture that in your mind, I think.
I would also get more taller plants in behind the bridge, and a background (black or rich blue) unless it is a 'walk around' tank. this will add visual depth.
hope that helps
edit : say your old pic - definitely I prefer the new one. If you're going for that much symmetry with the rockwork, which is cool in a sort of japanese garden way, definitely work on creating asymmetry and depth by using taller plants at the back and sides, working in medium and then smaller extending from the sides towards the centre and some smaller in front as well.

ok, the tank either way is nice, my opinion is the old pic minus the bags of stuff of course. But the tall fake plants in the corners stand out too much, again in my opinion.
I would go med in the corners and make the tank look taller? I love the rest of the tank, top notch, just enough.
I know theres plenty of reasons to go plastic. I have some in my tanks. But some live plants, again in my opinion would look really nice. especially with the rocks.
