I didn't have potatoes, so I substituted rice.
I didn't have paprika, so I used another spice.
I didn't have tomato suace, I used tomato paste;
A whole can, not a half can. . .
I don't believe in waste!
A friend gave me the recipe;
she said you couldn't beat it.
There must be something wrong with her
---I COULDN'T EVEN EAT IT!

Color Saturation and Hue: Skin tones are accurate, colors are well done.
Brightness and contrast: With the exception of the light in the oven, nothing is blown out, shadows hold detail well.
Focus and depth of field: Focus is nice and sharp. Depth of field is appropriate for this image.
I think that a neutral density filter over the strobe, as well as the red, may have helped not blow out the light coming through the door.
I like the angle for this image. Nice take, too many people shoot only at eye level.
I think what hurt you most in this round, was the purists probably did not see this as "food" which required a recipe. Though it certainly is a recipe for disaster. I like this photo, as it has plenty of imagination, and nice departure from usual cliches.
