You need MORE driftwood... kidding, matter of personal taste but not overkill imo. Nice driftwood. Was confused by the rocks on top of it until I realized you're probably using them to weigh it down until it's waterlogged... I usually let mine float and sink on it's own since I actually like the floating stage, momentarily forgot not everyone does that.
 
I might change it & let them float until they sink. I'll see how it looks. Thanks for the idea!
my fish loved swimming & hanging out underneath wood during the floating stage.
 
If you like the look of them floating, you can always drill a hole in the driftwood, run a zip tie through it and suspend it from the center brace.
 
Thanks baseball man! here is a full tank shot with the driftwood now in a floating position. The branches actually brace it under the top of the tank making it work great. I like it much more than before with the boulders holding it down. The fish have much more room to swim & many of them do gravitate to the bottom of the pieces... Although the cichla vary where they stage themselves!:
