Fishman, I really like what you did with your wood, but if I may criticize a bit; The rocks look unnatural lined up that way. I'd suggest more random groupings of stones. Take a look at some river stones in there element and see how the natural flow of the water creates a random pattern of dense groups set apart by thinned out speed zones. Either that or take in how many have emulated a mountainous face similar to the 2007 AGA winner by Chow Wai Sun. I think either approach could work better than symmetrically lining the stones up. You can always use low level/ mid ground plants to help accentuate a bordered path like you're after.
Don't get me wrong, lining the path is exactly what I did in my 65gl, but I tried to overlap them as randomly as possible while still creating a wall of stones, helps to have a bigger collection of stones to really achieve that. To be honest, my effort didn't really turn out as planned and I've never been totally happy with it.
