Excellent!
Initial impact: Artful, intriguing, makes me want to know more. Good question re: why a brand new one is next to the 'elderly' one (o:,
Creativity: Wonderful post-processing work. Glad you kept the cracked wall behind in view. Asymmetrical placement of the rack is in exactly the right area w/in the frame. Often the rule of 1/3's should apply, but not in this case. Altho I do see three empty spaces for other hats. So the overall sense is 5 'areas' ... very good
Center of interest: Love how that hat stand seems to scoop up the hats off the surface below
Tech excellence: Fine clarity, focus, DoF
Storytelling opps: Absolutely
Lighting: Very good

Another great creation!

Good photo, I like the moment you were going for. This is a nice concept. More importantly I like the work you've put into it. The sepia works great, and I like that you did all this to separate the foreground from the background. I hate vignettes, I think they are the bane of a good photographers existence and a crutch for poor photographers... but I will admit that I can appreciate your using it for a reason. Often times people throw them onto their work for no reason at all or to try and improve a photo that was obviously in need of some help. Not the case here. It actually seems to match the imagery, and it doesn't really interfere with anything. So I'm cool with it.

Nice work. You did good. I hope to see more shots from Agios Nicolaos (Where is that anyway?)

How unusual is this subject.
i love the colours, and the fact that the hat stand is a candle holder all adds so much charm. The sepia is a nice touch as well as the vignette. great work. wendy.

I cannot say enough of how creative you are. It is this creativity that gives you work wonderful presentation. The sepia gives this shot an aged look very nice effect. These hats are certainly the center of interest. Technically a very sound shot. Story is very good. Lighting is excellent.

I like how you chosen the sepia. It really gives this picture so much more than probably what the true color would of been. Very, very nice.

Interesting shot. The sepia tone appears to give it a vintage look.It is always interesting to see the going on in small towns around the world. That gives us the real people's life style.Thanks for sharing.

You have done a great job on this shot. The editing really works on this piece. I really like it sepia and the vignette added.That is funny how one hat is worn out and the other brand new! It has that old fashioned look to it,well done!
