    Château Puyguilem, Dordogne

    One of the prettiest châteaux around, but sadly mainly unfurnished.

    It looks like a lovely building in an interesting setting, but find there is too much setting and not enough Chateau for the image to be really effective.

    In response to this addiitonal image, I would turn Manfred's words on their head and say, it looks like a lovely scene in an interesting setting, but find there is too much Chateau and not enough setting for the image to be really effective.

    I think the first image has a good balance and gives us a narrative. We're not just seeing a building, but are seeing the landscape in which it is located.

    Absolutely true Donald, but then I would say that the title is misleading; the image is indeed about the landscape and the chateau is just a minor interloper in the scene.
