The bump on the hat is fine. There are some brands of hat (Kangol, in particular) that use a strong weave like that, so that's fine.
Fair comment but my problem is with the smooth profile of it. With a weave that strong the edge of the hat would not be smooth. It would be bumpy and thus a displacement would work better.
I hadnt noticed the whites of the eyes being blue but now that it's been brought up it really does stand out. The eyes are also missing that one bright white spec higlight that gives eyes depth. You really need that to help sell the picture.
