After this picture I have replaced some of rotala next to ludwigia with some Limnophila sessiliflora.

What should I do with this one?
 
Thats a nice healthy looking tank.
By asking for help i take it you mean on the lay out of the tank .
Its all personal taste but too me all your plants at the back look the same hight so it looks like a garden fence and blocks out the wood (from this angle anyway).
Try building from 1 corner and running the structure in a triangle or a mound.
Which ever way you choose It will look stunning as you obviously have a wet green thumb when it comes to the plants.
 
I agree, your plants look lovely. I'm jealous of your hemianthus (aka babytears) at the front. I have some in my tank, but they seem to be dying.

I also agree with RYO on the shape thing. Although it doesn't have to be triangular. I can see the filter on the left though, so it would make sense to have higher plants on the left and shape them so it goes shorter to the right.

For the size tank (bit bigger than my own I think) you've picked small leaved plants which is great cos it's sposed to give an illusion that the tank is bigger, but the tank feels small and cramped. Thats maybe to do with the 'wall' effect. Showing some background may add some depth.
