This was fabricated by using candy sprinkles and M and M's in a flowered bowl filled with seltzer and magnified through a large lighted magnifying glass.

Meeting the Challenge:
This might be appropriate if someone was looking for a party theme photo, combination of colors and patterns, or maybe an Easter or Candy theme. Not what I would consider a typical stock photo, but with today's diversity it might well work for a particular need.
Composition:
The eggs do stand out to me, but the patterns in the bowl are a little distracting. The brightness of the center helps create the focal point. I am not personally wild about centered photos, and this is a little off from left to right. I might have left the wider horizontal edge at the bottom to give it a little "anchor" rather than having it at the top. I like the dark background, might have wanted to increase darkness just slightly more in levels to help even out the blackish areas in such.
Technical Quality: A bit over exposed in the middle, which detracts from the clarity in the middle section, esp with the little candies. I think you did well considering you were using a magnifying glass, though!
Creativity: Very good in this area, your photo was definitely unique.
Overall conclusion: I think your idea was good, but the bowl in the photo may really haved caused problems with exposure, and made the photo a little too busy and a little questionable about the theme of this "stock" photo.

Strange idea. Very colourful, but the composition is too central without a good reason for it. The objects at the centre are underwhelming compared to the plate, in my opinion. I don't think it would work in many applications as a stock photo.
Nice shot with vibrant colors. The colors in the surrounding area are more muted and this offers a gentle contrast. I seem to see a bit of grain in the dark areas as if the exposure wasn't exactly on the money. If I were a photo buyer, I'm not quite sure what this would illustrate unless it depicts the art of a particular culture (past or present). As a stock photographer, I don't think this would be a top seller in my collection but it's still a very nice picture.
I love your candy dish! Great composition, you should probably have it evenly cropped top & bottom. (the top margin is just a little wider) Also, the candies in the center are much brighter and somewhat overexposed. Because the lovely, artistic dish has muted colors, the center seems too bright.
This is a fun idea, but the focus seems to be more on the gorgeous bowl than the candy. I think this would have more impact in a plain bowl. - Great idea though! You made me hungry!
