 Taken at the Greenup County Fair. I was walking around just shooting crowd scenes and looked over at this old guy looking through the stands at the tractor pull. I thought how at home he looked in his cowboy boots, plaid shirt and big belt buckle.

yep - that white tricep indicates a cowboy ok...

Nice composition. The sepia effect gives this a nostalgic feel. The white hat seems a little burned out, though.

Love the composition. The hat is a little blown out and distracts a little from the overall picture.

White hat is a little too white and captures and holds the eye too stongly

The composition here is nice, but it is distracting that the cowboy hat is so blown out

I like how you caught the bonyness of his arm, really communicates his age and corroborates the title. Hat might be a might blown?

The hat is very over exposed and loses a lot of detail, which is a shame.

i like the sepia, but the hat looks slightly overexposed

highlights are pretty blown out on his hat, obscuring the details and textures of the material

the hat is way over-exposed - draws the eye away from the story being told here.

Looks over exposed because there are no details in the white of the hat. Sunlight I guess made the lighting too harsh.

I like the composition and how the cowboy is looking off and having the blurred flag in the background. For me though, my eyes keep getting drawn back to his very, very bright white hat.

Great idea but the blown out hat ruins it.

The light colours of the hat are somewhat burned out. There is virtually no detail visible on much of the hat. On the other hand, the subject of the photo is interesting.
