Looks nice. The appearance is really up to you, although a natural looking environment helps to relieve stress.
The screen you have over top you basking area looks to be the type to block UVB. You should discard that and replace with egg crate light diffuser, which has holes large enough to let the UVB rays penetrate.
edit: i use an artificial terrarium plant with a wood base as a resting area that's under water. The plant floats upside down and I have the wood base tied up to one of the cross bars in my tank. If you don't have a crossbar than you can set up a piece of light wood to go across and serve as an anchor for your plant.
