GREAT sauce shot. I want to lick the spoon. But I also want it to be sharper

Good job capturing the warm, creaminess of the soup. The spots where its boiling up are a little distracting and detract from the image, in my opinion.

Definitely a cooking photo but it lacks the rich red that you would expect from the subject.
