Default Help me re-scape my 15!

It doesn't look very good. I ripped out all the bacopa, as it was covered in green algae, as was a lot of the ludwigia. I pruned some of the rotala, pulled a lot out. I think I have too many stem plants and not enough short ones.

I think my problem is that I have no central focal point.

Here's pics of it:


There's the huge crypt forest, mostly Wendtii Red, with a few Willisi in there.

Java fern/driftwood. Some ludwigia in front, and some Hemianthus Micranthemoides that I bought on a whim.

Whole tank.

I'm thinking of getting rid of that driftwood with the java fern. The fern is getting huge! I'll try and sell it, maybe. I moved all the vals to the back so they have some growing room.

I'm thinking about getting some branchy driftwood for the center and pulling out the crypt forest to replant it around that.

I need ideas! New plants, layout, etc?
