The blue lights make it a little tough to see some of the details, but a few quick thoughts - double check the clearance between the glass and the rock all the way around so that you have room for cleaning, and think about what type of corals you are going to have in your tank (zoas may be fine on the top of your scape, but it may be too high for acros). It does look like it has caves and shelves so your fish and coral should appreciate that. From an aesthetic perspective, it seem to have the look of a volcano so that is a nice touch!

the 1st and 3rd pictures aren't showing for me, so if the ones I can see are the new pictures, it's way too much rock for my liking.

I personally like a more minimalist look, but yeah, I still think that is a lot of rock. I guess it depends on what your ultimate plans are. If you are planning on a lot of large SPS/LPS colonies, the water column space (which is already limited) is going to fill up pretty quick. If you plan on just keeping a bunch of small fish it is fine but you are going to want some more room for anything larger. The scape itself looks good....would be cool covered in zoas/mushrooms/anemones with a school of damsels/clowns.

Needs more negative space. Or add a couple Hobbit figures at the bottom and call it Mt Doom.

I like it .
but might be tricky when it comes time to place corals .
there really isn’t much room for larger lps and think the highest point might be too close
To the lights .

I like it. Lots of caves and hiding places for your fish which means less stress, which helps with overall better health. I'm not sure what kind of corals you are planning to add if any. That could be a factor if this scape is right for your tank. Make sure you have enough flow going through the tank so the detritus doesn't build up in the caves.
I would love this in my tank as corals are secondary to fish for me.
