Photographers Comments
Shot quickly at a Farmers market. Not quite sure what hed come as, but I liked the contrast with the Family Communion sign and the normal folk in the background.

Hi Julia, well spotted and having the camera ready. I like your composition and by colourizing him you have made him stand out well. These Morris men love to dress up and can be very entertaining.

Ummm.... Ok.... now thats a little different! I lived in England for a few years and often went to farmers markets and none of them featured dude's like this! Our Scottish markets are VERY tame in comparison!

Great shot though, and you are right, the contrast between him and his surroundings really makes this work.

Kind of reminds me of Wurzel!

Thank you for kind and lovely comments. Though I think the main subject put more effort into the moment than was required by myself!
Cheers,
Julia
