Nice... I still think you should cover the back with paper to make the inside stand out more and the frogs feel more secure. I used brown paper bags across the back on the outside, and it actually looks rather nice (though a BG would look much better, but there isn't room in the tank for one).

Just any type of brown paper, you can even cut a cardboard box to put around the back (that's what I did for my BP tank). Here are some pics of my CWD tank with the paper around the back:

I was going to take a new picture, but I think I left my camera in the car, and my hubby has it right now. I'll take a better pic as soon as I can. I hope you can tell how the paper makes it look from the shots from above. I have replanted since I took those, so I'll be able to get a better shot from the front. It looks alot better in person.

You can also use aquarium background, they are printed with plants and stuff like that, so they add alot of depth to a tank that doesn't have a BG. Using brown paper is a little cheaper (generally free, lol) and alot of people have some laying around.
