A colorful overhead spread of iconic DMV foods arranged playfully on a bright, rounded-edge picnic table. A perfectly folded half-smoke in a soft bun, a slice of jumbo pizza with gooey cheese, a small cup of mumbo-sauce-coated wings, and a glossy cherry blossom-themed cupcake sit on quirky, mismatched pastel plates. In the background, softly blurred landmarks like a tiny Washington Monument figurine and a miniature Maryland crab sculpture add regional flair. Late afternoon golden light streams from one side, casting soft, rounded shadows and making the colors pop. Shot from a bird’s-eye view with photographic realism, vibrant saturation, and a whimsical, energetic layout that feels fun, inviting, and distinctly “Around the DMV.”
