Certainly a different take on the challenge and one that I'm sure will have a lot more views than votes :- )
For me this is really two seperate pictures in one. On the plus side the hat is crisp clean and focussed which is positive - but the other section of the picture is photographically not so strong. The B&W conversion has left slightly muddy skin tones and the model doesn't quite seem to be in focus. As she is a major element of the picture, this is clearly a distraction - and perhaps not in the way you intended :- ) |
