Give me an ice cream, a photo from District of Columbia, South

Photographer's Note

Cherry Blosom Parade Washington DC

It was funny how people of all ages would beg for an ice cream. I managed to get 3 (I used to play basketball...).

One addition: I gave away all three ice creams...too busy taking pictures and a good way to keep my daughter occupied.

Some info on the Washington DC cherry blossoms can be found here.

Great catch!!!

I love the hands up in the air, the ice cream flying, the DOF - is just great, the light smooth of the motion...

Very nice picture!

Well captured ;) And I like the crop very much. Very well done.

Nicely taken and framed. I like the absence of faces in this, just a whole lot of anonymous hands outstretched for the icecream. I hope you shared yours! ;)

Interesting shot and quite different in angle and subject matter. I like how you framed only the hands and nothing more...the falling ice cream adds to the shot and gives more context. Well done!

richtersl took my comment -- Fantastic capture! Not only that, but the depth of field is great as is the imagery of the hands, the stopped motion, etc. Outstanding image.

WOW, what a decisive moment, It's a fresh idea to shot the hands of thoose people. And i know what grownups would do for a free "anything". Good one

Oh, Nikos, missed this one, I like it very much. It's a very funny angle and the Dof is great. This is really a nice picture, very, very good!
