Nice pic Bachs ! 
After reading some comments, i had a go at this ! Hope you arent offended ! its very quick and not on the high res original so you can see where i been busy !
Drew a freehand selection round the red thingy and some of the grass etc, cut it out and pasted it back into a new layer, moved it until it was in roughly right position, flattened the image, use the clone tool to clone back in the area removed during the cut/paste process, feather the clone tool by 50% and try to tidy it up ! Is definitely worth a try on the original Bachs ! and you can probably get the 1/3 section right to make it more appealing !
I know its definitely not as good as it could be ! But shows you dont always have to move to get the shot you want !

Ian that's good mate! The give -away is those repetitive white bits to the left of the red thingybob. You need to watch out for repetitive patterns building up like that when you're cloning, and keep varying the place you're cloning from.
Definite PS progress there though. :thumb:

Thank you
Yeah im using my laptop with one of thos silly nipple things for a mouse, and its flippin hard to use accurately ! i tried feathering the clone by 50% after i did the initial and it broke it up a bit, but a mouse would make it so much easier and quicker !
Im learning slowly

Lol...so many people to reply to here!
Firstly, in the cold light of day the chain thingy really grated on my nerves in the centre and the obvious place for it is on the right pointing inwards to the castle...thank IanC for the example, I might give that a go or just wait for a more dramatic sky and go back (20 mins up the coast)
Liberalis...The horizon was a botch up as I got a nasty halo when trying to pull back some colour and detail in the sky.
I made a pigs ear of it but there's always some clever bugger that will notice here!
EOSd...Can you wait until the Mrs buys me the 580EX Flashgun before you post the thread to her?
Kenco...I let her off the chain thing for 5 minutes as she was ruining the shot.
