You should try without photons maps. They are not really for outdoor scenes.

Hey I think you should try all the default settings again, use the skylight as and sunlight as 1.0, and press render

Splotches etc..

thank you.. gonna try now.... i will post an update

ahh. now i can see the images...not that this has anything to do with the lighting or settings, but you should definately get a better grass map...this one is super tiled and is really distracting since it is the entire foreground.

Also i wouldnt bother using HDRI for lighting in this scene as it wont really be visible. And just makes it hard to look nice

Turn off GI and work on your lights frist.
I recommend:
Essential CG Lighting Techniques, Darren Brooker, 2002

good luck.
