Rescaped - Which do you prefer?

[Biofeedback]

Hi people,

I have just rescaped my tank 1.5ft tank yesterday. I would love to here the comments of my fellow hobbyist, to see which scape is better.

Other comments are also appreciated, but at please, don't do so without saying which one you like more.

Thanks

Before: Design 1


After: Design 2 - Just done yesterday, still waiting for HC and some background plants to grow

i prefer 2, small tank with lots of plants make it look even smaller. choice of plants is important.

design 2, design one looks as though the plants are "trying to outgrow each other".

I see the 2nd one is more natural than the 1st one.
I suggest you shouldnt put pelia in front of the foreground, and move it to the left of the tank to hide the filter, you will see it much better.
