Shot this at the San Diego Fair. I loved the father and son staring at the dropped ice cream, loved the matching hair colors! Tried B&W but it just did not have the same impact. I hope this is the right section for this. C&C's always welcome.

    Nice one! I love the colours, but I think the sun was a bit low to bring them out properly; I'm assuming evening, although there's nothing wrong with ice-cream for breakfast (Breakfast of Champions in my book!)

    From the apparent lack of movement of both father & son, it seems that neither have heard of the "Five Second Rule" ne_nau.gif

    Thanks for sharing!

    Very amusing image. I might crop in on the father and son, and screen the son's face a bit. But very nice. And definitely color.

    Thanks Wil and BD, I'll try a crop too. They looked at it for at least the 5 seconds, maybe hoping somehow it would hop back onto the cone.
    Have a great day!

    Oh dear!

    …too much!

    I'd crop down to below the top of the wall (removing the anonymous hand & feet…)

    …and leave the rest of it much the same.

    As is, you've moved the centre of attention right to the edge of the frame!

    …woe betide you if it melts and drips out of the frame!!!! eek7.gif

    Well, not to disagree with Wil, but I have to disagree with Wil. I like it tight like this. We've got the mohawks, the Dad and Lad, the ice cream...and those draw my attention...rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks, I agree with you BD, anything else is just whipped cream! (No, it was Vanilla)
    Have a great day!
