Think you can improve with a bit more foreground plants either planted in soil or on rocks with some background plants to complete the aquascaping. Overall, gd effort!

Some rocks can help to further beautify the scape

I think once your blyxas bloom up, the left side will look very green green loh. Nice! Does Blyxa need high lighting to do well.

yup, that's the plan, it will be playground for the fishes
blyxa need mid to high light + co2 n fert to do well, low light it will 'float' but give more 3D view for the scape, u can see my other thread, blyxa at the back looked taller. because it float...

Potential scape. Good job. Simple scape but look natural. It would be great when mature. Looking forward
