Dave asked on your Scarborough Catle shot whether you were using square filters as opposed to round, I'm interested to know too as mine are round. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Tall structures in the mid and foreground can look very strange with there tops looking dark or shaded. This can easily be seen in some recent images using graduated filters.
