There's a school of thought that says geometric shapes do not read well in landscapes, especially if you draw attention to them by strong counterchange. That right angle in there was a I felt a case in point here. Thanks for not noticing, Norah!

I fixed that corner that was bugging me. The revised version is on my website. Here is the link:-

Thanks guys, but there's always something. It was bugging me as soon as I looked at it indoors, and when my "chief critic" picked up on it too, that decided it. That strong right angle to the right of the castle was I felt drawing the eye towards the focal area a bit too obviously, so I added a suggestion of a distant tree behind the castle in that little corner. I may re-post when I get a chance to photograph it, but then again perhaps nobody would see any diference other than me (Oh! and of course the "chief critic").
