Topcat in a tophat

Youngest son (15) asked for a tophat for Christmas. He was thrilled to get what he asked for. I took some shots as he was opening the box but unfortunately they were all completely out of focus. I'm rubbish at portraits. This was the best of a bad job that I had to edit :o)

I hope everyone had a wonderful day. We have more family visiting tomorrow so I'll be tied up again all day. I may have time tomorrow evening to catch up otherwise it won't be until tuesday x

I think it works really well, good editing.
What a strange present for a 15 y/o to want, does he want to go Eaton ?

@jdonnelly I know, he is slightly eccentric and already has quite a hat collection but this is the most we've ever spent on one for him. He's a bit old to be starting at Eton but I feel he's be very suited to it ;o) xx

[Mimi Ditchie]

Really a great portrait, I love the pose, black and white, and texture.

[Lora Gill]

We have one of those hats! They're great - kudos to you for getting him one!

[Nicole Campbell]

This is a great portrait and I am glad his wish came true.

[Display name? Ummm....]
