Mark it's a nice creation and the effect with the water as part of your shot
is striking. You caught a fine range of postures to add interest to your
silhuoettes too.
What a shame that you didn't have a camera with a larger Crop Circle with
you ;-) ;-)
You can get one with a 1.33x instead that takes the best lenses in the world
and works fine for that kind of shot, although they encourage you to get
closer.

Couldn't resist!!!

Cheers
Geoff
