Thanks.
Ken.
I love the shot.
I would say the rest of the pic apart rom the wall could do with a little more kick. ie: brightness.

Regarding the shutter speed, I am finding it a battle between aperture and shutter speed.
What I mean is, you set a lower aperture to get maximum depth of field but have to lower the shutter speed which introduces the risk of the effects of camera/lens movement. I noticed the other day that even on a tripod, because there was a breeze I could see obvious movement through the viewfinder.
I'm trialling different combinations of aperture/shutter speed settings and the wifey has made me a customised beanbag which is very light/small with a gap in the middle which you can hang over the lens. This helps to reduce lens movement due to breeze/wind. I've seen this tip in a couple of landscape books.
