Rapunzel Layout Variations

I am trying out a couple of different compositional layouts before I begin into the major development work on the illustration.
The right image is my original composition, and my only problem with it is that that the trees in the background reduce the scale of the tower. This alters the perspective of the entire composition and creates an unusual optical illusion, which I don't want in my piece. However, this might now be solved by replacing these trees with some from my new research.

The other two images are new designs that I was inspired to create whilst on my research trip. I thought it might be more correct in terms of scale if the large castle was sticking out of the top of the tree tops instead of being contained within the trees of the forest. However, this leaves the rest of the composition quite empty and, therefore, uninteresting to the viewer. This became clear to me after creating the above mock-ups. In conclusion to this, I am going to continue on with my original composition.
