IMHO Too shallow of DOF. Impressive technically, not so impressive visually...

The thing I'm drawn to here more than the orange is the BLUE EYE!!! Nice shot!

Definately fits the challenge. Nicely composed. Flat however, from lack of creative lighting. Move your lights to one side or another and the depth will pop out of a set up shot like this!

Nice composition. I think it could use a little more creative lighting. Perhaps a strong side light like you have here with a reflector to bounce back and help with some of the darker shadows on the left side leaves...

This is a very nice shot with your new camera! Love the DOF and your B/W treatment is a real treat to the eyes! Good shooting!

This shot appears to be crooked. This is an easy fix in PhotoShop. PM me if ya want instructions. I understand what you are trying to do for the challenge, but this is also very flat due to the lighting available. Taking this from a different angle or at a different time of day to pull out the marvelous cityscape textures would make it a better shot, but would probably make it not meet this challenge.

If you have the opportunity, you should try taking this shot with your tripod (or camera if handheld) lowered to about two feet of the floor. You would be surprised how different the shot will 'feel'

Hmmmmm....I only count 1,784,382... But seriously, your shot seems vey well composed, but very flat. Taken at a different time of day, with the light and shadow emphasizing the textures, would make this pop a lot more!

This shot would have been even better in the orange challenge!
