Stills

It is a nice portrait, and I happen to think that the background purple shirt is a nice echo, but have you managed to put across the full lunacy that is Morris dancing here?
 

No idea what a Morris dance is but I can see something interesting is going on with those pieces of sample cloth all over the woman's shoulders.
A nice set of repetition in lines here, the foreground pole, the woman's shoulder, the fiddle bow and the arm of the man behind the fiddler.
I want to know more.
 

"No idea what Morris dance is..." Nor did Paul Hogan as he kept wondering which one was Morris.

I know what Morris Dancing is but this wouldn't have been my read of the scene without the title. The fiddle adds an air of countryside but I need more sticks and bells to bring out the Morris bit. That said, there are some good layers at work here and three strong poses gel it together. Perhaps a little less side on for the subject up front?
 

I didn't know about Morris Dance either, but after looking it up -- seems like great fun!

This does seem a portrait of the foreground woman and conveys her well, though the out of focus part of the stick distracts a bit. The background fiddle player is really nice with the bow echoing the stick.

If this is not telegraphing "Morris Dance", perhaps a part of a series. ;-)
 

A fine portrait of the woman taking part with gusto! I don't know enough about Morris dancing to say whether the outfit that she is wearing is a cut apart from the norm but my hazy memory is of more green and red but if the fiddle is fiddling then who is to worry about the costume!! To me, this is more the village fete with amateur dancing - much to be enjoyed and a good prelude to lots of cyder! Even the woman on the right is strolling by with a hand-bag as if not part of a surging mass down a main street as in Helston. I'm not sure about the man in purple: with relatively few people in the picture he is needed to help build up the scene but given his importance he accentuates the fiddler player's stance a bit strongly. But that is a relatively small niggle. But after any attempt at analysis, I end up being captivated by the woman and, to a lesser extent, the rapport from the fiddler (who looks rather urbane!).
 

I wonder if the gentleman in the background is a bit distracting. I can see the beginnings of a pattern in the way the fiddle mirrors the stick, but the pattern never quite comes together for me. Her expression is great, though.
