But i enjoy seeking out and looking at intelligent photos such as this. I agree with the second shot, the cabin in a way is washed out against the grasses in the forefront. The first photo is incredible! I will have to play around with these ideas as I become more and more in tune to my amatuer photos I take periodically. I am not a photog pro, barely even a novice.

To me, some of the best shots, especially of people, is to get down low. I've laid on my side on a dirty driveway just to get a shot of someone before. I've crawled around past the discarded gum and the car oil but when you lean back and check the image you just snapped, seeing that powerful photo makes it all worth it. Sometimes you have to be willing to go where no one else is just to get the shot that no one else is getting. This goes for getting up high too. The grass in the second shot is lovely but I agree that the taller piece is disruptive. It stutters the eye as you move across the horizon and I think it detracts some. I wouldn't say go higher on the shot so much as crawl over there, bend that stalk down and then try this shot again. ;) I actually love this technique.

It is bulging at the seams with quality advice, some good tutorials, some great discussion, and even some great "for fun" contests that are daily, weekly, and monthly. It is a very open gathering, but the people involved are usually genuinely bent on making everyone else a better photographer. If you get a chance, take a peek at http://www.picturesocial.com/ and discover another great gathering for photography!!
