Intent

Behind the frame

What I was trying to do:: I was sitting in a cafe waiting for friends, when I looked behind me and saw the hat sitting at a bus shelter, it was a happy coincidence the frieze went straight through to give the impression of a floating hat, which amused me
What worked:: the hat floating, and the yellows
What I'd do differently:: maybe waited till the small reflection of the lady in blue had passed, I didn't see it at the time

Love this! It reminds me of Magritte painting!

Thank you Graham, quite surreal to be compared to Magritte,
