Rescaping before I finally start my cycle

I'm not artistic/creative, so I'm really struggling with the rockwork here. I really like the look of this scape and started trying to achieve this ...

But this is what I ended up with after about 2 weeks of trying ..

The front left and far right are loose, I really like the top flat on the left one but I've decided to take it out and start again.

Is the top scape something that would work well in an anemone heavy tank or should I go in a different direction?

I made the 3 bases of the large rockwork flat with the cement stuff. I'm really ready to start cycling but am not happy with the rocks so looking for inspiration/critiques.... anything lol

I think your scape looked great. Hopefully it won't take 2 more weeks to recreate it

Nice work. I think it will work fine for you.

With the wife's help I ended up with this. I like it a lot better and hopefully it'll work out. Tomorrow will put in and maybe get wet!

Thanks I went to sleep thinking something wasn't right about it.b I got the flashlight out and did some spotting which showed I was blocking almost all the light for the lower left side of the tank.

Long story short I broke the top ledge up a little and now I'm done, for sure lol.

I used the mortar for makeshift bases around the structure but it left a couple high spots that held it up by 3 little nubs. I took it outside to my driveway and slid it around on the concrete to "file" the high spots down. It sits flat now and I get light all the way down.
