Stone Well, 2

I decided to try this one again to get a sense of the morning light. I was amazed how this contrasted with the first version.
I included the rosehips in the foreground this time; they had drawn my eye originally, soft and plump against the stone.
This feels like the dawning of one of those very "glow-y" autumn days.
