Inside the Hat Box

My mom was cleaning cupboards and came across two old hat boxes she's been storing for my sister. I thought the black case worked well for the November list challenge. Here's that shot: http://365project.org/kwind/extra-shots/2012-11-23

I also took this shot to show you some of what was inside. Best to look at it large if you have the time.
Wonderful nostalgic feel to this shot. Love your processing.

Those are definitely hats from bygone days. If you lived in Great Britain you could put them to use.

I don't know if you purposely desaturated the colors, but it turned out beautifully exhibiting the historical relics. Favorite for the nostalgia, and for the beautifully handled subtle colors. I hope the slight vignetting was not added purposely. I don't like the effect in general, especially if purposely added. Bottom left, I would have been very happy to see a little more of the box and the wooden floor interface with removing the slight vignette here, and rely on the focus field for separation. Really lovely.

@frankhymus Thanks for the fav, frank. I applied an aperture effect that desaturated the colour and applied a slight vignette.

A beautiful piece of the past--I like the arrangement--particularly the splash of turquoise in the corner.
