I wonder if this one has trophy potential?

I like Joanna's idea of making them wear a straw hat with a big sunflower in it.

I have one on the go at the moment, but I think he's been bated before :? As soon I got round to the trophy photo he's gone all shy on me. I will still keep on at him, and we will see.
Cheers
