First Impression - the most important one: Looks like a tasty meal!!
Composition: Composition looks good. Everything is framed nicely and there is plenty to look at, as well as plenty of "negative" space. I like the placement of the ingredients on the left and the meal on the right.
Subject: Good choice of subject and I love that you included all the ingredients too. You have some nice colors in the meal and in the ingredients, which gives good variety to the shot.
Technical (Colour, focus, and light): Focus looks good, though I can see what you mean in your comments about oversharpening. I think you did pretty good on it though--not as bad as you thought. It does look a tad oversharp, but nothing horrible :-) Colors look good in this shot, though a tad bit of saturation in the reds and greens might make things pop a bit more. Lighting looks good, though a little uneven. The left side of the photo is considerably darker than the right side (though not so much that you can't see the left side or anything). I think you have the right level of light, but maybe could consider adding some more from the left.
To grow its vote?: To grow its vote, I think more balanced lighting would help. You've definitely got enough to pick up nice detail on the food, but I think a little more would add to the scene. Also, though the colors are certainly true to life, slightly saturated colors tend to pop more on the web and to viewers.
Summary: Great image for this challenge, with good composition. You had a good idea and you followed through on it well!!
