I think it misses some dirt. It is too clean. You appear to be telling a story of the owner of the hat walking a lot, getting to a nice meadow somewhere high up a hill with a tremendous background. To be honest, I don't think that the hat of someone who walks a lot through environments like these looks as pristine as the one on your photo. In my mind's eye it should show more wear and tear, show its age and frequent use and the effect of the elements on it.
My choice for the poll would be the non-existent option "Nice idea, now tweak it and re-take the photo"
