 Self portrait. Threw the hat into the wind and fell forward to simulate being held up by it.

a moving photograph. heh. I just realized that is a double entendre. A little less grain and it would be perfect. but the substance lies in the symbolism and background.

I like the idea.

Great idea, and the leaning forward gives the illusion of wind. I would like to see the hat in perfect stop motion. An interesting framing would be much closer to your subject with the hat closer to his head. I feel this because only those two elements show wind. Everything else in this photo seems deathly still.

Shot has a lot of nice elements - color variations, composition. But the subject is too dark, hard to see and the focus seems misplaced or missing.

Excellent! Good timing. One of the few I've looked at so far hat gives me a real feeling of being in the wind - well done

Get a piece of string, tie a peg at each end and attach one to the hat and the othe to the collar - you won't lose the hat then. Great picture. 10

Great timing. I wonder how many outtakes this took. :)

Sky is quite dramatic and lends itself quite nicely to add interesting drama to this shot. Clouds almost appear to carry the hat away off into the breeze.

The hat is a subtley of this picture, and I like that it's right at the end of that arm of clouds. That the guy's head just clears the treeline is also a nice compositional element.
I like this one a lot :)

it's cute...I'd like it a bit more if the person was more in focus.
