Sixth Plate

WHY UPSIDE-DOWN? Almost every sixth plate with a new seal I have ever owned, when a male is the subject and NOT wearing his chapeau, has a variety of hats placed in a similar fashion as this one. Aren’t you pleased that I got this far into my thoughts without mentioned the child’s goggle eyes? Hey I know the innocent little guy couldn’t help it. He was seated on a fabric-covered piece of furniture (not a chair, how odd) and rested his arm on a table next to his cap. Nice plate prep and even illumination along with great contrast all worked together to give the silver image impressive reflected depth. That slash of brightness beyond the bottom of the table was sunlight that spilled into the room. A common plastic case comes with the youth.
