Wow. What can I say? I wasn't able to vote on this challenge, but had I gotten the chance, this would have been a 9.5.
The only thing I can see that might make this a little more appealing in my opinion would be to find a way to reduce the shadow under the spoon.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I don't have much to offer as to improvements for this shot. I like it all.
I especially like the syrup that has spilled out of the spoon. Because you cannot really clearly see the color of the syrup IN the spoon, I believe that is an important part of why this shot did so well.
The color is excellent, definately goes with the purpose of this challenge.
I really like the angle and framing/cropping you chose for this as well. I like how we can see right down into the spoon, and we have a very clear view.
There are no distracting elements in the background. You have chosen a nice, plain background to display your subject against.
Your focus and clarity are also supurb. So good that we can see the texture in the spoon.
A very great job. What a fun photo. ~Heather~

Well done! Is 'purple-nurple' a disease, or an condition? I give it a 9!

Hope it's not the "Mad Purple Cow Disease"! Love the composition, the color and absence of color and the spills.

Looking on the spoon, the liquid looks almost black, and I know its probably from the quantity of the liquid there and also the dark spoon. So this is why I really like the purple liquid surrounding the spoon. The liquid on the surface really adds a bunch to the picture. Very good composition.

This is one of my favorite photos from this challene. I love your saturation work with the colors. However there is a little bit of reflection under the spoon, is there anywway of minimizing that?

Nice image. Very good choice of lighting and composition. I like the way that the light provides for shininess to the image. Good job.
