It looks better but I'd move the sword so it's not dead center. A few inches to either side would really improve the balance, go left for my choice. Then let things grow for a while & reevaluate.

yea, that whole golden ratio thing. I just think once the plants on the left grow in it's going to be a bit crowded there. I don't know how the sword is going to grow, but from my understanding it's probably going to take up the whole center once it fills in

my 2cents: I actually really liked the pc on the right in the first photo, it had "shape", a pc pointing out, a cavity/negative space underneath. The big initial issue that struck me was that both pcs are about the same size/ht . . maybe take the pc on the left out and see what you think. thanks for sticking your self out there, fun to see what other folks are doing.

just had a thought; I noticed that the left pc has a large flat space on it, maybe butt that up against the side or back(flat against the glass/plexi, give it the illusion the pc is coming from outside, might possibly give the illusion of a larger space???
