Uhm, sort of a landscape

Which crop do you like better? #1 or #2

Not sure if it's just me but the horizon seems a bit off.

Second one by quite a bit. Looks as if you moved forward to shoot that version, which was smart getting multiple comps.

The railing splitting up the middle and the towering partial planters on either side of the first are distracting and add nothing to the subject. And, as mentioned, the horizon is off by a small bit dipping down to the right and all the trees are tilting that way

Number 2. Those pot things in the first one are more distraction than good for framing. It does seem to be just a tiny bit off level.

No 2
To me, this scene, pots are distraction.
In other scenarios could be just the thing. But not on this.

That said, can you squeeze a bit more out of No 1 and show all the pots in the foreground, but only just? What would that look like?
Edit. Realised rims of other, near ones encroach! Clone out?

If I could go back and reshoot that one I would use a wider lens and step forward some to remove the giant pots and catch all of the smaller pots.

Yep, now when I look at the centerline of the gate I can tell the image is tilted a bit.
