Description:
I attach a photo that we took one night up at Castlerigg Stone Circle in the Lake District four years ago. My family and I were definitely the only ones there, and were taking a few random snaps. When we downloaded the photos, we were surprised to see (if you zoomed in) what we were convinced appeared to be a rather scary smiling face surrounded by an oval of light.

We showed this to a number of people who could also see the same thing, but I suspect that there was probably a logical explanation caused by something like the effect of some distant car headlights appearing over the fells somewhere. Anyway, what do you think? Any ideas?

Investigation:
Initial thoughts on this photo seem to point to an insect (DragonFly?) crossing the circle as the image was taken.
