Very, very cool shot! I really appreciate when people think to point their cameras at angles other than flat at head height. :)

Heh. I read Tom Robbrecht's comment to mean "nope, it's not DNMC." :)

Anyway, to me it meets it perfectly. And I liked your other ideas, too!

Thanks, that is what I needed to hear, about unsubmitting, though I think the other way around - unrelated, but not a good picture :-) Freestyle, you mean the monthly? I dare not to enter there before my skills improve, including PhotoShop! (STILL only using Picasa2 ...). Unless I get lucky and think that I have a really, really good shot.

Thank you for the comments, and after voting myself, I am content of my unsubmitting - even though my "average" so far is 8 :-) (one "vote"), it would not have made much more than 5, if even. I have earlier been surprised in how low images went that I thought were good.

I think my idea holds up, but as mentioned, both objects should be (more) in focus, and picture should have been with much more of a wow-factor. Used my 50mm, but should have used the 10-22 I think, would have made the ice cream so much bigger because of the perspective. And the title could have been "find the link". It was not easy to stage a good scream, as people were watching from all over during the shooting. Raining outside (why no rain LAST WEEK, GEE!), so shot inside, and McD is what she wanted ... (I feel the same way, Nitesead!)

So much for starting to shoot 1 hour before deadline. Note, time here is 12 hours ahead of US Eastern time zone, even 13 when DST ends ... so real, but overcast, daylight.
