These antlers and hat hang in the garage/workshop of Randy Rieman, bringing character to the room in which he spends hours making reatas. I do believe the hat has seen some wear…

    Beautiful job with the light, Ann. Connecting these two icons of the West is a neat idea.

  • Thanks, Ted. Yes, it just screamed to be photographed (can you hear it?), as did the old snowshoes and coyote hide, plus the longhorn horns and book on the table. : ) Maybe you’ll see some of those someday too…can’t throw EVERYTHING at you at once! ; )

    Wonderful composition Ann. The combination of rounded and angular lines really complement each other. Great contrast in form and shading. You have told your story well.

  • Thanks so much for the insightful comment, Bryan. I too love the contrast of shapes, and greatly increased the contrast on this shot, as well as bumping down the saturation a touch. This is one of my new favorite editing techniques. : )

    Love the hat rack…nice looking elk

  • I have one that’s similar…and it does indeed make a nice hat rack (or clothes drying rack, or…etc!)! : ) Thanks for the comment, Ryan.

    This would be wonderful in the All Kinds of Hats Challenge ~ Happy Haven-Photography!

  • Wow, Marie, you’re right. Quite fitting for that challenge, as Lancaster County sports more Amish hats than I can count! : ) LOL Thanks for tracking me down (not only that, but this group looks like exactly my kind of group, and I hadn’t discovered it yet!)! : )

  • LOL – …and I just realized I was thinking you were commenting on a different hat photo of mine. Hmm, this one would be perfect too. Sheesh, too (two?!) many options! : )
