Very nice image, very clever and original. The orange(?), though, being the only thing in sharp focus, draws a bit too much attention, though, perhaps.
This is another really interesting picture Ollie, I wish I had your imagination and eye for a shot. I think the contrast between the sharp, focused orange and the blurred background is very effective. A bit of fill in flash to brighten the colour of the orange might have been good - it's always worth experimenting. And in answer to your question - no, i don't think there is anything mums can't do!
