Via "Hat" ... :)
by Sisto

Comment:
For everyone to explicitly know:

"Via Cappello" litterally means "Hat Street", so there actually are three levels of "hat-titude" here: the real hat worn by the man, the carved hat "worn" by the statue and the conceptual hat, in the street sign.

Brilliant!

Well, no 1 score, noticed that too :D

Great use of perspective, the picture looks "weird", but not in a bad way.

Congrats!

Pigeon guy

beatabg good choice sending this picture instead of one of the other two.

The stance of the Pigeon Guy in those two picture is just not "Street".

Congrats on the HM!

that was then, this is now...

When I first saw this I thought the space on the left and bottom and the date 1935 just leaning on the top of the frame were a bit misleading to my eye.
Then I looked at this again and again (yep, at least 2 of those 100+ exceeding views are mine :P ) and I noticed the car and the lady with yet another hat on the left of the print!

I don't know if the other hat was intended, but it gives the image a nice touch, just like GeorgesBogaert picture's scooters, given that an italian motorcycles manifacturer makes a scooter whose name is "Typhoon" :D

So, even though I still think the whole frame might have been moved "up" a bit, I say: well deserved second place :)

Congrats!
