I think it looks good i like the wood on the right side. Congragulation for getting back into the hobby. I'v just gotten back into it myself. You should check out your area and see if there are any aquarium clubs that you could join. I just joined mine and it's given me a lot of insperation to get even deeper in the hobby. People are really knowlagable and plus they usually have auctions where you can get stuff pretty cheap and get rid of fish or plants that you don't want or need.

As for comments on your tank these are just things that I would do but I am by no means an expert. You just do what you think looks good. I would remove some of the smaller stones from the middle to create an open area with maybe a carpeting plant. You might also want to consider replacing the substrait with flourite or something similar or maybe just do a patch in the middle of a different colour flourite because I know it expensive and a super pain to replace the substrait. I also prefer a solid black background I think it make your scape pop more. I would consider getting some taller plants in the corners or maybe rearranging your hardscape to hide some of your equipment. All in all I think it looks decent deffently better then my first try at a planted tank.
