 Don't like the bubbles - cloned them out and then realised it was old rules, so put them back. Lit by two 500W halogen lamps reflected off the ceiling.

The soup was hot and delicious!

Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. While the basic subject, soup, would fit the challenge well, for me this photograph is too busy to say "simplicity". Exposure composition focus lighting all good.

Personal: Wow, that soup looks *really* unappetizing to me. And near the spoon, is that blue from the handle bleeding into the soup itself??

My vote: 4

It really needed a simpler background.

This is a very nice concept, but appears to be overworked in post processing (I am not guiltless of this in my own images for sure).

It appears over sharpened with edge effects. A white halo around the blue handle is plainly visible. The deep blue of the handle and in the soup seems unnatural.

Nice concept, but the colors don't work too well IMHO - doesn't really look appetizing.

Very strange color for soup. Hope it tastes better than it's color.

I would have liked this photo better with a more simple tablecloth. I'm losing the bowl in the plaid.
