It takes patience and good timing to get a shot like this. Well done! Even better if you weren't using a motor drive or burst function. It's truly a photo that clearly "tells the story."

Capturing "moments" like this is what makes photo journalism work for the viewer. It tells a story and evokes some emotion too. Good job filling the frame to avoid a lot of distractions in the background.

That must have been fun to shoot! I hope your camera escaped the exploding "pies!" I liked that you got down on the child's level to make them the emphasis of the composition. Their faces say more than a focus on the whipped cream ever could.
