Landscape suggestion ideas to share?

I'm a lurker here and love to read the posts and the photoshop suggestions, but I hate to see people embarrass themselves. It's like the bad singer on America's Got Talent who just keeps coming back.

So, my suggestion:

It's one thing to have a computer program to toy with and share occasional ideas, I've even contributed a few; however please make them realistic and practical. Some of the pictures cram in a bunch of plants and trees to create an oriental looking mess. Overcrowding looks impenetrable, and hurts curb appeal and resale value. Please listen to what the people really want and think practical, for their zone, home style and with general aesthetics in mind.

To truly help people we need to enhance the beauty of things. Some posters have a natural talent for creating beauty and minimal balance while others require training to offer beneficial help that's in good taste.

OK, there I said it. My vent for the day. Some of you will know what I'm talking about. I'll crawl back in my hole now.
