Not sure where the idea came from but I thought it was a little surreal. Blue-dyed water in the syringe and sprayed on the orange. Taken with natural light and my new close-up lenses. Played with saturation/levels.

You are a very strange person. Well, as obviously very set up shots go, this one definitely wins in terms of 'most unusual' -- it's not terribly arty or commercial, it's apparently just set up for the joke. Contrast wise between the sets of complementary colours, you did a fine job, particularly with the light angle given the orange the yellowish-fading-to-orange cast. About the only flaw perhaps is the white space is a little overwhelming -- maybe a slightly larger syringe with more blue would have cured this.
the white background unfortunately washes the syringe out, i love the concept and think you did a good job setting it up, but i'd like to see more of the syringe, either physically or by reducing the brightness
Haha... nice idea. Perhaps the orange could have been lit better. A bit overexposed on the left side, while a bit in the dark on the right side. I like it though.
Interesting concept. Not sure about the composition. Having the needle fall off the frame in the corner makes the shot more aggressive then it should be I thiink. Maybe a lower angle would help. 7 -danny
I think this is an interesting composition, but the drops on the orange seem to diminish the theme just a bit for me... maybe not the 'theme' but the overall visual appeal of the photo... = 6
