This exercise was harder, and took longer, than I had expected.  By the time I had placed five stones in the frame, it was looking crowded.  As you can see, each piece was moved to make room for the sixth.  I felt it looked a bit flat and disjointed at this stage.  It may appear like a few subtle changes to get to image (7), but I assure you there was much deliberation and moving stones around before settling on this arrangement.  

Hopefully, the drawings on the last picture here adequately show the shapes that I saw and which determined the positions for the final image.  I think the basis of this last arrangement was the inferred curve and line drawn in red, vaguely resembling an arrow through a bow.  There are numerous triangle relationships between the different points, and you can see a couple of rough square shapes too.
