Very interesting texture to the ribbon (?) on the pole. love the detail and depth of field.
Stephen Rowsell replied

Thanks Daphne… I think it’s vinyl. You can see the texture of the fabric on the original resolution (see description) which I hope would show up on prints.

This beautiful! BUt also a little sad; reminds me of the Maypole Dancing lessons we used to have at school when I was little. No one does it anymore, a dying tradition. Well done on the gorgeous colors though, the light is fantastic :)
