Carol is right -- the wide shot of this often photographed hat adds a touch of scale incongruity that adds a poignant, forlorn quality to this image.

I agree with Tim. It's nice to see a wideshot of this hat. I shot it more closeup from outside that other window. This gives the whole story. Somebody just forgot his hat...and he'll be back, but maybe not for a long time.

I love the way the hat sits almost in the middle of this image - how it is evocative of someone just leaving - planning to come back.
