Wish I knew what it is. Would have been a good entry for the Abstract Macro. ;^) Seems like the front side of this object is a little soft, maybe OOF?

I love the colors and the composition. The pipe (?) looks old but the image is a little too unsharp.

This would work much better if we could see the boy's face. This side view is somewhat removed and impersonal. For me, with this type of candid, I want to be transported back to childhood---to remember the pure, single-minded enjoyment of an icecream cone. While there are exceptions, it is generally good practice to photograph children closer to their eye-level. This has the effect of showing the child's perspective and drawing the viewer into his world.

I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry in this challenge.

This is ok, but children and candids go hand in hand really. No big wow factors for me. I could have gotten a million of them this week with my own son or child relatives, but I prefer with an actual candid challenge to step out of the comfort zone. I gave this photo a 3. It's cute, but just ok.
