The Rollright stones are near Long Compton. They have myths about them. Some say a witch turned a circle of knights into stone when their would be King couldnt see a village from another nearby spot. This rock is one such knight. The stones stand in a perfect circle, but I couldnt get an arial view. But we stumbled upon this rock in the circle, and it had a nice puddle on top. So with a little artificial rain drops off the umbrellas, we managed to capture a nice shot :)

You committed quite a bit of time to capture this moment. It is an ok shot of the subject in the challenge. The water drop is awesome.

Good timing. I'm guessing you have about 100 outtakes? :-)

This looks great in black and white. I love the contrast in rock textures. Great timing with the capture of the water drop!

Simple but very good.
Black and white improves.

water drop is great but it's a bit lost in that setting - I know you need to be able to see the rock but you could still have cropped it closer - good luck
