This is a nice subject to get some good photos from. All those hats are really cute. However, I dont like the anle/composition you chose. I think either a straigh-on appraoch or some other angle (closer?) would have made these hats more interesting.
This picture has great charm. Definitly evokes a sense of small town life, summer, all sorts of feel good things. A nice outdoors shot that pleases the eye.
Haven't heard of your magazine but I know there are a jillion craft-related magazines out there so no surprise.
This is an ideal photo. It obviously fits a specific article type, it's a pretty, well-lit photo, and there's enough hats showing that any crop required would still work out. About the only place it might suffer slightly is in text composition and if this isn't a full-bleed magazine photo that works out fine. If it is, it might be a little tough to work around the colourful ribbons, though it would be possible, especially if the crop focussed on the left, so it's only a minor flaw at worst.
I love this shot. Very well framed and great choice of subject matter. It's too bad the top could not have been cropped to take out the building in the background. Well done :)
