Sartorial Elegance

Kathy asked me to represent Fall Hat Month, which is where we 'celebrate' the changing seasons and swap our titfers to match the cooler season.

Meet Fred the Head, who was an absolute b*##@r to light to have a dark and light side. Just to the right you can see my winter hats trying to sneak in, but not yet eh??!

I've broken rules here, full on face, no rule of thirds for white and black cloths, not got all the hat in shot, unbalanced negative space- who needs rules??

Fred looks a little pale. LOL! Fun theme and shot!

Glad to see Fred is wearing a mask...fully in style for 2020.

@randystreat Thanks Kathy! I tried dropping hats (fall) doing ICM (looked sooooooooooooooo bad!) and then scrounged Fred the Head from friend! Not sure if this is what you had in mind...................

@summerfield I've been watching too much of "The Great British Baking Show." I equate "aces" with a handshake from Paul Hollywood.
