About 8 years ago I asked here how to land over an obstacle, and do short field landings.
I got lots of good advice (lots of very experienced pilots here).

Re: Landing over an obstacle
Well done. Slower with a bit more pitch and power allows the steeper descent angle which allows touchdown closer to the obstruction.
