    I don't think you really need something in each corner - not if your really scratching around for something to add.

    What might help is if you can bear to reduce the size of the shield. Its colours are dominating the whole map - an effect that would be greatly reduced if you reduced its size quite a lot. I might actually move it across to the opposite corner, move the plan down to be in the middle of that side, and actually shunt the whole castle a fraction to the right, so that the focus isn't bang in the middle.

    Composition is a really tricky thing to get right, but where photographers tend to want the focal point right in the centre, its actually quite uncomfortable in an artistic composition, which is better divided into thirds or fifths on a subliminal level - hence the tendency for the horizon in most landscape paintings to be one third or two fifths from the top of the painting (or from the bottom). If you arrange all the extras in a sort of 2/5 column down the left side and shunt the castle to be central to the remaining 3/5... or even use sevenths - 2/7 and 5/7, then plop a signature or copyright thing in the bottom right hand corner it might help.

    All of this is just me babbling away - just ideas, that's all
