I really like the backlit greenhouse shot (number 5)
The rest are a bit "nice view, take a photo" for
my liking.

I like 4 least, which is "look at my bokeh".

I don't think it's "wide-angle effect" (I don't see any of that). The house
does seem to be tilted very, very slightly counterclockwise in the photo,
but I suspect it really is tilted that way -- look at the reflection of its
verticals in the water and they do not seem quite parallel to their
originals in the house. Since the water itself must be level this implies a
slight tilt to the house.

It's a really lovely scene. The small boats, water and bridge make the
picture. Looks like the sort of quiet, peaceful place one would enjoy
spending a good deal of time, and having the photo is the next best thing.

That's from a Terry Pratchet book, surely?

Discworld is still on my to-do list, so I don't have a clue.
