 Adjust crop, levels, curves, add border, resize, usm. Taken outside after the sun was below the tree line, with a mirror and blue posterboard tented over the mirror.

I made a mistake in my title ... they are tangerines not oranges .. so they are more red .. and .. I liked the lighting .. everything doesn't have to be "bright and shiney" "dark" does work from time to time .. I disagree with the "dark" comments on this but I will learn what the site voters want and move on. Thank you for the many comments. :)

Nice coloring. THe shading of the blue, darker at the bottom is good.

The oranges should be a little more yellow, that can be fixed with post production, but overall I like it.

Deffinately complementary colours used here, Very strong colours too. I like it, is that a mirror? Good luck.

Maybe it's my monitor (and I won't take off from the score I gave because of it), but the oranges look red to me

4 - Like to have seen the blue more vivid. Little less glare, but difficult. Not sure on the frame. Overall a little dark in my opinion.

Awesome concept, I love how the background flows together. It appears kinda dark, I wonder how it would look with a longer exposure.
