Try placing the main point of interest towards the sides of your photographs for more interesting compositions.
Place your horizon near the top or bottom of your shots to add emphasis to the ground or to the sky respectively.
In this picture you can see there is a large amount of sky and the rocks have been placed well to one side to emphasise the feeling of space.
