Beautiful! My first thought (before reading the title) was ORANGE. Love the contrast and impact! Well done!

To me, either orange or yellow (orange given the title hint!). Good closeup, pretty good composition though just a touch tight on the one side. Can't tell what it's splashing into or onto, but that's probably irrelevant.

"3" Wise Monkeys
by Mark-A

Comment by BigJohnson:
I think you were in a no win situation. With the rotation to create the 3, you loose some of the impact of a great family shot and the wise monkey expressions. Without the rotation, you don't really have the 3. I'd worry less about the score and give myself a pat on the back for a beautifully composed, well lit shot.

In response to your request for further critique...

...as I mentioned during the challenge, the "3" was not obvious as first look. I note that I wasn't the only commenter to say this. I think that rotating the image this was was clever in that it formed a "3" but it distracted us from all the other elements of the shot. I have to admit that I read the title and saw the shot and once I "got" the "3" I never really saw the details such as the tongue poking out. I think that if you look at the "Avg (commenters)" score of 6.37 you'll have an idea what this shot may have scored if it wasn't rotated - just MHO ;)
