I love how the tree ties the hat into the background, and the texture of the foliage ties the background into the face. A wonderful circular trip for the eyes, it both starts and ends with the eyes. Also, perfect use of over-processing, this wouldn't work without it. I would like to see this cropped square, with about 1/3 off the top and 1/3 off the left. It wouldn't score as well, but I believe it would be a stronger photo and would help to define the movement. As is, this deserves a high mark. -9
Hmmm. I feel like you had plenty of texture going for you in this picture (and it would have scored higher on my vote) without the "baking". Everything else about the exposure, I like. Sorta seems like you're making the salt the main course, instead of the seasoning. (Still voted above average)
i'm a huge supporter of post processing. in fact i get my share of comments about it, a few not so supportive. for me personally, i think its over processed. so much that it takes the attention away from the concept or assignment given. the technique is cool and you have done a great job with the skill, but i'm not sure it works here. jmho of course.
The texture of the tweed seems to have gotten lost in the name of overprocessing. It's just too much all competing with all the rest. Nothing sets the headwear apart from the rest of the frame.
