Just shot my coffee mug for the "Orange" Challenge.
Adjusted the curves and sharpened it, not much had to be done. One of those shots where it's nearly perfect. I also cropped and resized it to meet the requirements.

Very nice! Great DOF and focus. I love how you used green to complement the orange, I as a viewer appreciate that attention to detail, very nicely done!
Here's a composition idea. For increased drama, point your mug hadle for the right top corner of your. Doing this would split your green space into triangles, instaed of squres. Human eyes like triangles.
This one appears more red than orange to me, but I always give the benefit of the doubt :) I do like the composition and the lighting, but the subject just doesn't hold my interest.
Technically this is good althought a tad bit soft. Still it's just a little boring for a high score in an open challenge. I do like this and hope you do well.
Exposure is great. The colours are vibrant. What might work better (compositionally that is) is to crop a little on the left and include the entire handle or more of the reflection of the handle on the mug.
I love this photograph. Marvelous colours, and the angle's fantastic. The shadows and highlights on the glass really bring out a very vivid shade of orange. The focus is great, too.
I like the highly graphic composition (as a graphic designer and illustrator, this isn't a surprise!) and especially the contrasting background color. Very nice!
