 As soon as I saw this title I had the image in my head of how I wanted it, hair up in the air somehow! Grabbing hold of that hat!! lol This was really fun =)

(I don't like the harsh dark shadow underneath the arm tho, nothing I could do about that only have the built in flash in my camera...)

Love the high-key look to your image...it works so well.

not sure if the close shadow helps or hurts probably would be better if it was a softer shadow. great expression. getting the hat into a third point would have been nice but would have centered the model too much.

a bit too contrasty for my liking, very cool idea,though. the shirt is a nice touch

I would have preferred this one without the shadows, and with a bit more detail in the eyes and hat.

The flash shadows are really harsh, but I love the composition and outlandish hair, expression and moves she's doing. The hair going out all directions does not look like wind blew off the hat, thus not supporting the title. Maybe if it was flipped upside-down it would make sense to hold on to your hat.
