I am big on the rule of thirds (or ROT as I like to call it) in composition. If you would like me to elaborate on that, just message me and I'll be glad to do so.
Now for your images. I like number two the best. However, I would crop it so the church is a little lower horizontal plain and more toward
the right third of the image. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, thanks for the help, iv had to re-post the pictures, and are now in a different order than before, just noticed while reading your comment again.. oops! Just to let other people know which picture we're talking about, its now the third picture.

Right, so do you mean to crop the church so its a little bit further down than what it is already? and crop it up to the trees on the right, or up to the church? just double checking.. as i don't want to make it any worse! Haha.
Thanks very much for your help! It's much appreciated!

Lovely silouette in the original 2nd one, which if you can reduce the haze on the right church would be a winner!
Crop the image to balance the monument with the near steeple.

Hi Peely, thanks very much! yeah I've tried to reduce the haze, but I'm pretty stuck with out any proper software. I've tried adjusting the brightness, contrast, saturation and basically everything else, do you think you could help me out on this please? Would love to sort this one out as its my fave out of the three. Thanks!
