Those photos show anybody the Rule of Thirds - which you chose not to do. The RoT is not (just) about placing one single target into the relevant points on a flat homogenouos background - generally. Even the single flower on the photo on the top of this page is not that case - we have horizontal lines there which balances to an extent the unbalanced. With objects/lines/patches with less importance (if it has a role its importance is not secondary, however). I am glad you gave the link above leading to the Flickr landscapes.

Remember it's just a guideline intended to help you make your images more dynamic. Imagine a landscape with tree. Imagine two versions of the photo: one with the tree dead center and one with the tree off-center. Or take a look at <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/tags/landscape/interesting/" rel="nofollow">these examples</a>. You can overlay a rule of thirds grid on many of those. With landscapes, horizons especially. Sure you could. Remember it’s just a guideline intended to help you make your images more dynamic. Imagine a landscape with tree.

Plus, with cropping, I've been able to go back through my older pictures and remake them, like you did above, into more pleasing compositions. Basically, bringing them back to life! I think it's the single-most important tool an amateur photographer can use to improve their pictures. When it's so easy to crop photos on the computer (I use Picasa), I don't understand why people don't take a little bit of time to do it.
