Photographically speaking, this image is decent. The lighting is even and you managed to control the shadows under the hat. The composition shows that you are trying to be creative but the image does look a little strange without the eyes showing. The facial features lack sharpness due to the wide-open aperture you had to use. I suggest you use a tripod next time and close down the aperture, which will require a slower shutter speed.
Challenge wise, the voting pattern in your histogram suggests that many voters didn't feel this was a strong subject for a Pattern challenge. Although the hat has a definite pattern, it doesn't hold the viewer's attention for very long and is almost secondary in the image. Personally, I spent more time looking at the face and the brown curly things next to it (Are those dreadlocks?) than I did at the hat.
Hope this helps you better understand your score.

| Nice shot, good pattern and one of the better uses of color I've seen in this challenge (though honestly I'm not that far into it yet). As for composition, I think I would have liked to have seen the model's eyes; the hat being down over them seems a bit forced. Otherwise I like the shot. |
