Not sure I agree. I hear you. But
Well written with evidence and a great supporting photo showing context go a very long way.
I still say if you take a landscape still ensure you centre well with your POI fittting a square shape.
I change all my noms to this strategy. And it works well. I agree some noms are hard 
well harder due to size and or position. But it is a principle I would follow.
In fact in this nomination. I say it is even more more important due to the grass nature of the nomination and background
Which is why I would (if it were me) would use a photo like this
And this as main supporitng photo…
With the others for wider context. 'Cause I think @cyndiepooh that is where I think the main battle is. Contextual supporting photos and well written description and supporting info.
But that is me
I would also include a link to google aerial view and insert this image which really show the POI, walking trails, bus stop and so on… To me (note I said me) this is great supporting information.
Happy Cake day… Well happy weekend now Hope you all well… And @xFISTx I hope the nomination succeeds
