Blue Split Complimentary study - unfinished

Back to painting again in the evenings, I have decided to study split complimentary painting - which is taking a color and the two colors adjacent to its compliment. In this case I took blue and studied it against yellow-orange and orange-red (the two colors adjacent to orange - which is blue's compliment). Unfortunately I only got two hours of work exploring, but I'll post it anyway, as I'm not afraid to show bad or incomplete work.

Color palette included:
Primary Blue
Titanium White
Mars Black
Naphthol Crimson
Cadmium Orange Hue
Primary Yellow

All photos are Liquitex Acrylic paint shot with a Samsung Galaxy S III smartphone.
