The horizon appears in many photos and where you place the horizon in your shot can make a difference. If you want to emphasize the sky, use a low horizon. Or put the horizon high if you want to show the foregound. The most important thing is to be creative and shoot the scene all different ways. A great thing about digital photography is that a person can shoot like crazy and later delete the bad ones.
Usually, it is not recommended to place the horizon right in the middle. But like all rules of composition, there are times when breaking the rules works.
Another thing about horizons is that in general, you are better off keeping level. Especially in images with water ther is something a bit disturbing at a subconscience level about a lake that is tilted because the human brain knows that that the water in lakes and oceans don’t slope upwards. Many photographers make this mistake, but with Photoshop it is very easy to use the cropping tool to level the horizon. However, sometimes you may want to experiment with tilting your camera at different kinds of angles to produce a creative shot.
