I can't tell that the lights are flashing, or that the wheels are turning... there's no movement here... and was the truck even moving with sirens blasting? I don't get the feeling of sound. Sorry...

Nice ATTEMPT? I like how everyone assumes you were trying to "copy" something. I know the shot they're thinking of, but I've never really looked closely at it, so I wont be comparing you to him, nor this shot to that shot.
I do want to say that the ONLY thing that really bothers me at all about this shot are the light glare and the reflection of the orange on the left side of the glass. The glare on the right side below the orange does not bother me, and I actually like it.
I guess I do also wonder if a bit more black space would be better to the left. Either that, or center the subject dead on. It's not off center enough in this frame to really create a dramatic use of neg. space.
Otherwise, I love the colors. They stand out very nicely on the background, and are quite strong and vivid.
Your focus and clarity are great. I almost wanted to say that I wish the orange were a bit more clear, however, I like the darkness on it, and I don't think it would be easy at all to achieve both.
I also like how we are not looking straight on at the glass, but at an angle slightly.
Really nice. Love that color blue.

a little more contrast helps to hide the texture of the fabric... which I think would help the shot... great color though

Lighting is nice, but perhaps a bit too strong on the fruit.

I love the color of the liquid and the orange. I don't like the light on the material below the glass-it gives to much attention to it. There is also too much going on on the left top of the glass. I would also try centering the glass or lining it up on the 2/3 line with the orange on the inside. This might balance the photo better.

Nice set up. I don't think the choice of border was all that necessary but the picture works well overall.

First impression:
Glass filled with blue liquid, I canĂ¢€™t make out if it is an actual drink or not.

The photo meets the challenge with the two colors, blue/orange. Colors are good.

A different border may be needed or none at all.
I think a typical border is larger on the outside and small on the inside. That would have work better for me.

Lighting may need to be diffused. By doing this, you will get less glare on the glass and there will be less highlights on material under glass.

I would have like to see the focus closer to the orange slice.

I like this photo, the colours stand out well, but i think that the glass could have been cleaned better, it looks a bit dirty this way, but i like the lighting, = 7

I can't put my finger on it, but the lighting is a little wrong. The colors are good, but the orange would look better with more light behind it.
