Interesting.

you have a strong composition that is "anchored" nicely in the lower left of the frame and moves through the frame in an upward and outward "motion." It is also a nice graphic shape, without a lot of extraneous details to distract or detract.

Technically, it looks soft. Not out of focus, though some viewers may have thought that when passing through. The lighting is also uneven. Admittedly, sometimes uneven lighting can be used to produce nice dramatic effects, but in this case it looks like it was controlling you instead of you controlling it.

In a field of almost 600 pictures, a shot really needs to have something to reach out and grab the viewer and compel them to look longer than a second or two. You have a good humor factor, but there is nothing in the shot besides that to really jump out at the viewer.

Best to you in future challenges, and if I need to further clarify or explain myself, please feel free to contact me.

Not sure why you chose to put this in B&W would have looked much better in colour

The lighting is too harsh from the right and there is very little detail other than the skin of the orange. Not sure this works as a b&w, sorry.
