Default Cowboy hat

DSCF4243e2

Camera: Fujifilm FinePix S5200
Exposure: 0.077 sec (1/13)
Aperture: f/3.5
Focal Length: 21.6 mm
ISO Speed: 200
Exposure Bias: 0/100 EV
Flash: Flash fired

Taken with my S5200 on macro. Used the flash with a burgandy book held over the flash. (w/o flash it came out too dark, with flash but nothing over, the hat was washed out) Only other lighting is diffused lighting from my living room window.

On my coffee table with a black piece of fabric over the couch in the background. FWIW, I don't have any special lenses or lighting equipment. Just the S5200 camera.

Only post processing was a bit of adjustment for color balance (it had a slight blue cast) and a tad lighting up.

Is the composition ok? Color, lighting? I the horizontal line of the table too distracting? What, if anything, could I do to make this a better photo?

TIA!
