You darn me up by having me step back and change a 10 rating to a nine so I could rate you higher. I didn't even have to read your title to get what I was looking for in the challenge. You did it. Great 1st place finish shot. Added to favorite.

I like the sunlit clouds and the light reflected onto the parking structure.

Even though I'm really not a fan of exaggerated HDR, it really does work very well for this challenge. The colors are perfect and the idea is great.

Too blue, too overprocessed.

Ha! Very creative. It is that little arm hanging out of the pot that the eye notices first before discovering all the other details of the composition. Nice work in the details - the green arm and the 'Mashed People" 'Potato Mix' plays well into the Halloween theme and captures the song "Monster Mash" in a humorous way. The one biggest thing that could greatly improve the composition is the lighting - location is a very tough thing with getting excellent lighting that leaves faint or no shadows in a kitchen stove setting. Natural lighting streaming in from a window (if possible) would help but it would have to be in conjunction with two desk lamps with the same strong lighting (60 watts or above) on either side of the oven aimed at the pot. To fill out the frontal lighting you could use the flash unit on the SLR camera but to avoid hard/harsh shadows you would cover the flash unit with one or two thin layers of tissue paper (which is what I did back with my Recipe (Food) III entry)
