java foreach skip first iteration

Question

Is there an elegant way to skip the first iteration in a Java5 foreach loop ?

Example pseudo-code:

for ( Car car : cars ) {     
   //skip if first, do w

You can use a counter. Though not so mature coding, still I find it the easiest way to skip the first element from a list.

    int ctr=0;
    for(Resource child:children) {
    if(ctr>0) { //this will skip the first element, i.e. when ctr=0
    //do your thing from the 2nd element onwards
    }
    ctr++;
    }
