Fit: The shot contains kitchenware so it is a fit for the challenge. I wonder if some voters saw the food as DNMC elements?
Composition: The composition seems ok. We have string lines all leading to the one point. The decorations on the plate do seem to detract from these lines a bit.
Technical: As the commenters have noted, the oversaturation is a bit hard on the eyes! It is a good look in some ways but once we look at the image we find that the oversaturation is not really a key element in the image. The knife and fork seem to be the major elements so the colours seem to be a negative element.
Feel: I like the strong colours and grany feel the image has but the shot as a whole seems to be lacking a string message for me...what is the shot trying to say to me? Not even the title really helps me feel your intent.
Colors, composition and treatment of subject matter quite fun. Somehow the lack of shadow under the plate tricks the eye and really flattens things. Nice
