My wife's pretty geeky, so I got her a rubix's cube. Wouldn't you know, she already knew how to solve it. It's pretty simple once you get the moves down.
The challenge mentions yellow and purple, but I prefer yellow and blue as contrasting. I hope I don't get dinged for it.
I also tried a tighter cropping, but I didn't like it.
This picture is actually taken on it's side. I like this angle better, but the edge of the blue looks a little soft. I hope I don't get dinged too much for that.
Post Challenge:
Oops. What was I thinking. Before I uploaded, I did a slight rotation and didn't notice the white background border. Oops, I guess I've learned something.

It's supposed to be orange, but this is a great shot. Very centered. There is a scratch or something on the side, but that is hardly noticeable! Nice shot!
not a bad attempt. Got the colors well. 1. It doesn't feel like its in focus. 2. remove the corners where you rotated the image. I am guessing you need to adjust your monitor. 3. clean the surface the subject is setting on (black marks on the right side) I like how you rotated the image to give it a floating feel. There is also a hair floating on the top . 3. White balance adjustment or a levels adjustment would bring your background to a more white (less blue).
