Looking good :)
Have you researched about your mud turtle? They have different needs than a red ear slider.
Here is a website that describe the general information of them in the wild Iowa Herpetology
And this is not exactly a yellow mud turtle's care sheet but it is linked to the other subspecies that have very similar needs Mud 1
Mud 2

Nice pics, though it would be a good idea to start using river rocks instead of the pebbles/gravel you have in here. Plus, I didn't see any UVB lights which are absolutely necessary.

Also, there was only one contest winner, but everyone who's photos met the requirements were posted onto the gallery. It does seem there was an improvement in the submissions and I'm looking forward to the next month.

You have a uva but you also need a uvb for both turtles.

River rocks are better than gravel for all turtles. If there is gravel in your mud's tank, take that out too and replace it with large river rocks.
