Shaker hats, of course, and one of the things I found interesting was that although looks can be deceiving, only two of these are actually the same.

Very nice capture PJ. Hope they put their names in these hats, they do not look too different.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined. (Henry David Thoreau)
That is another very artistic composition. I like it. Great work, PJ.

Imagine you are there
I think I spotted which two are alike ~ the one's to the farther left. I can recall my Grandfather wearing straw farming hats when I was a kid. He would let me try them on. Very nice detail & I like the angle you captured the hats at. Well done.

Shaker hats No.1 and 3 (from left) European size 60 are similar. They must have belonged to two brothers :)

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Very fascinating. Now I'm trying to figure out which two are the same.

After reading the story about the Shakers by following your yesterday given link, this image has become even more interesting to me PJ. It's an artistic shot as well. Regards, Cornelius

Which one is the pepper shaker? I don't want to get it wrong.

I like the soft lighting here, easy on the eyes. sharp focus all the way around. I caught myself wondering about the lives that go under these hats. Thanks PJ

I know, it's election year and they're taking a "Straw Poll." The Amish wear these hats in the summer. I think I know which two are alike, I just don't know which one the bean is under. Is this the test where someone puts a square on a round peg? It's really a very complex post for such a simple photo. Good work PJ

Life is the pits sometimes, but God and your friends are always there to help you through it.
My grandmother used to say, "If you want to get ahead, get a hat." I was never sure what she meant but you've got the hats here in a lovely still life that also says loads about the owners of the hats. A beautiful shot, PJ.

Great idea capturing these hats like this PJ! I can just imagine the farmers in their fields wearing these hats to keep the sun off their heads. =)

I tried to answer your challenge, but these hats look the same to me...I guess I had to be there. LOL Beautiful perspective and clarity on these. Lovely work. PJ. :)

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
- Hermes
Nice proportions, nice textures and colours, all combining to make a great shot.
And a puzzle as a bonus :)

The question is not what you look at, but what you see ~ Marcel Proust
I'm late commenting PJ and sorry for that - I'm a bit snowed under with comments. This goes to favourites and onto my desktop. I'm giving up on superlatives, so I will just say that I think you are brilliant at capturing the Shaker aesthetic. This is so simple - the vertical grain of the wood vs the swirl of the hats, the cool of the whitewash vs the warmth of the straw...just lovely. That 93 is very very well deserved my friend.

... thats his home ... I remember that song. Okay, you changed it a bit, but thats the right of every artist. I like the row of hats here. Great work.

You have a great eye for a photo PJ. Teriffic composition and so much character for such a seemingly simple image. Brilliant:)

Great perspective and interesting composition. If you hadn't pointed out the 2 hats, I'm note sure I would have noticed. Love the character of the wood and hats.
