I agree with the others about the scrub in the second one. I really like the first one though, it's bold and I like the silhouette a lot.

Without doubt they add to it. It's not a very interesting landscape shot without the turbines. I don't think you would have shot that particular landscape and done a mono conversion on it if the turbines weren't there.
It's about contrast and the turbines really work in that respect. Nature doesn't do straight lines and the sharp turbines really stand out against the soft landscape. I like this shot and the mono works really well too.

Yes, apart from the rocks in the bottom right. They obey the rules of composition and they work as a foreground interest but I think you only get the juxtaposition of the movement of the water and the "stillness" (can't think of a better word right now
) of the rocks where the water is actually flowing over them.
