A poor giant dropped his icecream-cone on the Neumarkt-Galerie...

Icecream - the right thing in his hot weather (30°C in cologne).

Hi Thorsten,
Very interesting object: upside down giant ice cream cone, should receive a lot of attention from public and make easy to remember this place. Very nicely composed and well captured. Sharp. Great shot.

Hello Thorsten.

Oh dear who dropped this?

Nice humourus theme, nice composition with good centering.
Colours are very bright and visible.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Thorsten!
Zuerstmal ist die Qualität 1A und ich finde es gut daß Du den Schriftzug mit drauf hast.Das dunkelblau wirkt sehr gut.
Das Eis hätte ich jetzt gerne auf meinem KOPF.....
Tolle Komposition mit schönen brillianten Farben.
Übrigens hat Frank(Buin)das haus auch vor kurzem geposted.
Gruß,Leo

Hi Thorsten,
This is absolutely great. I mean not only the photo (perfect colours, sharpness and compo), but the fact it was published in a book. You may be proud of it. Big congrats for both. Best regards, László

Hi Thorsten,
Of course I had to have a look - congratulations - well deserved to get this published - it's artwork and it's fun at the same time. You probably would have felt better if you had a huge icecream in your hand then...

Just returning a critique and I noticed the link to this photo on your intro page. I also had a photo from TE published in a book! I haven't seen the book yet, but it was a photo from Jamaica which has now made it into the 'Adventure Guide to Jamaica'! All thanks to Trekearth!
Great photo, perfectly clean quality and expert composition, so it looks totally professional in the book!

Hi Thor, very good idea here!
the great ice cream is eye-catching for sure!
congrats for the book!
ciao!
