I like this one. Morris dancers and clowns are about equally sinister in my book and these guys aren't trying to hide it behind cricket whites and a couple of tambourines. They look positively tribal. It's a nice shot too: saturated and yet almost monochromatic. Maybe you could lighten his face a tiny bit, even clone out the background guy, but it works as it is! Tim
