Have to be a bit carefull when shooting a pattern such as what's in the hat. Although I'm sure it looks great on some monitors, it can also look overly sharpened as is the case on mine. I've got a very high contrast and very sharp monitor, as do many folks here and it's hard to strike a ballance that will match all conditions.
Might have tried a nore gradual transition between the light and shadow on the hat as well as it drops to almost black very suddenly and can be a bit startling.
Otherwise I like the image and think with a little refinement, it could be quite exceptional... :) |

The angle and strength of the lighting brings up the texture of the hat very well, but a bit of bounce lighting on the otherside of the flash would have given the dark side of the hat a bit more interest, where it fades too much into black and the light punches through to make that interesting pattern.
The hat is the star here, the headset doesn't realy add much or go with this very country/folksy hat, and while the table cloth is beautiful, it seems a bit too soft and delicate for the hard pattens set up in the hat.
The inky shadows on the hat where here ought to be some detail, and the slightly blown highlights on the table cloth make me wonder if you didn't dial up the contrast a bit higher than needed to. |

| Love the lighting. If there were a person under that hat instead of a tablecloth, it would just be so much more interesting. |
