Nice enough shot, but the half naked woman in the previous entry did more for me.

I don't see a hat. Is there a hat in this shot?

I have to give kudos and a high vote for such a great sense of humor.

Blue Cap

Comes across to me quite a bit on the dark side. I can't see a lot of detail in the bird. Maybe that was intentional. Not sure if this is meeting the spirit of the challenge, though the connection you are making is obvious.

All Wear and No Head

Nice concept and implementation of it, though it looks like the hat is intended to be over the OOF item in the foreground. (A coat and scarf?) Could probably use a bit of a boost in post processing, though. Level, curves, a little more saturation and contrast. Just a modest amount of those could crank this up a notch or two.

Great shot. I'm curious to see if this gets killed with comments and votes suggesting the hat is "not prominent enough". I've had a couple of entries that got creamed for that.

Eyes Through A Mask
by Qart

Comment:
I had considered entering a shot of someone in a mask from Mardi Gras. It was oneof my best from the event, but I felt too many voters would say that a mask was not headgear. I'll be interested in seeing where this one comes in and what the other comments say.

Very nice. I like the soft romatic look with the strong red lips and hat.

How do I look?

You look like you need some levels, contrast and saturation adjustments. That would make you smile, I think. A nice helping of Topaz adjust would also help you to grow big and strong, so you can carry all of your parent's camera gear when they go hiking.

Extra pointage for giving me an opportunity to leave one of my idiotic comments.

Real men tonemap the crap out of their photos and they don't apologize for it.
