What are those white stuff and what for?

I think they're seals (for lack of a better word) though I haven't seen them rolled up like this (and I haven't been to japan) I can only guess what these are for exactly

Bravas, where did you get that hat?

What is that thing behind your bottle of Bravas? It's very distracting.

As I said in my original comments, your subject is so small that it is hard to see what you mean to be the subject here.

A lot of this picture is dark and loses detail in the shadows, while the sky is overexposed and also has no detail.

I like the myriad of colors you have presented and I think the shot was worth a better score than you got. keep shooting and practicing your exposures, especially in natural light.

Comment by Fayech:
nice, though the background detracts from the subject a bit. :o)

Comment by Shinenlite:
nice but perhaps a contrasting background would have given more emphisis to the subject matter.

Comment by autool:
A different subject. I feel the hat is too blown out and the grey-ish background is distracting. I imagine a picture of this nature being used for advertisement, which means to me that it can't be flawed. 6

too washed out for me.

Comment by tjuneau13:
The color of the umbrella and background don't do much for me. More contrast with the colors would have been more appealing and shown the "speed" more.

Hat is over-exposed and there is a lighter patch in the background top-right, composition is too much to the top.

Comment by ozdick:
This would have been a hard shot to take due to the dynamic range of the black background and white hat - as a result, the glasses and hat appear to have lost a little definition and blend in with one another (at least on my monitor they do). It's a clever idea though and I like the idea of the hat on the hair liquid - very clever :)
