It's just PERFECT!!! I love it- the look of concentration on Jose's face, the derby, the composition. Amazing photograph.

I love this - it's both beautiful (the tones and the light, esp. on the hat) and funny. however, I think you're taking this Photoshopping thing too far, as you've clearly removed the wire holding the hat upright.

Nice. This is more like what I'm used to. Way to go back to the basics, Bill. Well, your basics, anyway... :)

Charming. Tones, light, dof. He looks so earnest with that hat perched on his nose...

SPECTACULAR! :) First thought was an uncle everyone has. Second thought was a bonus scene from Thomas Crowne Affair. Well done, as always.
