The shot taken in the urban park "was" one of a set that I can't find now.
Because of the manner in which I store them, there should be an
alphanumerical sequence, broken only when the camera decides ( different
month or whatever). So it is very clear when any are missing, and there
were several.
I seldom discard, so that would not be the reason.
I don't know how I would add oomph to that shot. You might recall the time a
couple of years ago when I was grouching about the inability of digital to
cope with highlights. This was one taken during that period. I think I actually
(surprise, surprise) shot this one in RAW, and tried processing it in Raw
Therapee. One major objective was to recover detail in the highlights and/or
tone them down a lot without losing other detail.
If adding oomph would worsen the blown highlights - I'll save it for another
day.

FastStone Image Viewer to do that. It now has curves control etc and I
played around with them
The view taken into the last of the autumn sunlight for the day was very
attractive, but a challenge. Unfortunately, it is no longer just half an hour's
drive away from my abode; it's 300 miles away now. And 300 miles back.
Thanks for the comments, all.
Brian Swale.
