This was my Photo-a-Day shot for January 8. I set up the scene, shot it, loaded them onto my laptop and came up with one dinky shot, then gave up. But it kept nagging at me to try it again, so I did about 4 hours before the end of submission and came up with this one. I know the orange isn't in complete focus, but I really like the colors, and this is a challenge about colors.

I find the water element in this shot very interesting to look at. I like the blue background and composition you've used to create contrasts. IMHO the focus on the orange could be better. Maybe more lighting and a faster shutter speed? Just my humble opinion, nice shot nonetheless
The orange reflections in the water are vibrant as is the orange itself - but the motion blur detracts from the image - crystal clear color calls for crystal clear focus, IMO. Good composition - perhaps a little bit off the bottom?
