I'd suggest it's a subjective thing...one person's 'heavily planted' is another person's 'sparsely planted'!
To me, 'heavily' implies overdone and so I prefer well-planted, where well-planted means lots and lots of living, growing plants, without detriment to the local fish population. Given that most fish need swimming space, if more than 50% of the available space is taken up by plants and hard landscaping, then I'd suggest it's well-planted, bordering on 'heavily'. My own personal aim is for a well-planted tank, with upto 50% maximum of the available space for plants, wood, etc..

Thank you Bruce,
It is very well planted and I'm pretty sure fishes are happy.
Stunning - thank you.
