I actually feel good about it, because I know more about graphics than you do, and it shows. Hooray!
the bright spot o the rim is slightly to the left= the light source is slighly to the left.

the middle part is fully centred = light source is DIRECTLY between you and the object.

the top was dark = tells me theres no source of light in the sky above the hat.

but w/e floats your boat.
