Help with the scape

[Pri]

Hi everybody,

I'm actually processing some MTS for a 33g (approximately, tank dimensions are: 30"*18"*18") and in the meanwhile I'm trying to figure out a nice scape for this tank.
I have some pieces of drifwood I collected in a local river and some local rocks (volcanic basalt rocks) collected near a mountain.
I have set up 2 different layouts with rocks and drifwood and would appreciate to have your opinions.

Thanks in advance

I like the second scape better than the first, however I think it is too centered.
I would also add more rocks.

Should i shift the whole thing on either side? Which side is better?

Where should I add more rocks?

Thanks

I love the second one, but I'd move it to the left a little. Looks great

How much space should I leave between the glass and the rock pointing to the left?

Haven't tried it without rocks. Worked it out starting with the rock. That's not a whole piece of DW but several small pieces, held between rocks!

Awww, I love that big rock! I think it balances the left side really well. How far from the left side is the tip of that rock? I can't really tell from the picture, but maybe move it to the left about an inch and a half or two inches and see how that looks?

The rock is about 4 inches from the glass. Will try to move it 2 inch to the left.

its worth a shot.

The second one is getting there. The first one kind of looks like a Peacocks tail feathers! Matt

I like the second one too. It might be missing something.. But for a start it is very beautiful.

May be yes for the "peacocks tail"!!! too regular and symmetric

Thanks. What may be missing??
