I loved my idea, but had trouble executing. The tonal range between the white white of the hat and the dark black of the backdrop was my biggest problem. Any ideas?

Custom white balance.

I think this is beautiful and simple. I think you had no trouble executing. Sometimes I find that life and thoughts and executed in the most simplest forms. This is a a perfect example. Keep it up JRalston, I am liking your work.....

Thanks for the compliment. I do tend to pick my photography apart LOL The detail is blown out in the white of the hats...the side towards the light. Any darker, the reds would have been too dark.

It looks very nice to me for such small reproduction. If there's actually a blowout problem in the full-size exposures, then it's either a matter of RAW processing (pulling the the whites down in the histogram) or, if the whites are blown so far they can't be pulled down) reducing exposure next time you shoot somethign like this.

But really, as far as I can see from this, you did an excellent job. I like it very much. You and I suffered a similar fate; we entered "studies", highly stylized, graphic-designish triptychs, and the voters were lukewarm on them. Of this sort of shot, only "autumn" by kudzo and "zen" by Nico Blue made top 20.
