Greetings from the Critique Club
Sorry you didn't score a bit higher with this image.
I thought it was quite an amusing take on the challenge topic, but sadly it didn't really meet the challenge in as far as showing the art of cooking. Yes, it is definitely cooking related and yes, it is definitely a stock photo, but somehow it missed something along the way. I wonder if you had put the stockpot on the stove with a wooden spoon or something it may have conveyed the theme a bit better.
Technically I believe there are also some issues with the lighting (some burnt out bits on the rim etc) and also as PGerst mentions, the processing is a bit clumsy (not that I could have done any better mind you!) There are quite a lot of jaggies around the edges which may have resulted from the sharpen edge process.
Overall, I felt this was a great idea, but could have been improved a bit both technically and compositionally.
Hope this was in someway helpful.

Fun play on the word 'stock'. I like the red and gold colors and the composition. I'd like to see some color and texture added to the background, because this looks too much like a cut and paste job.

| Except for the edges of the pot that blended in with the background, I thought this was a pretty good stock shot. Plus it made me laugh with everything being "stock" hehe. Those seem like cooking items to me! |

| Nice and clean, if a bit uninteresting. |

| The main issue I have with this is that it seems clear that the background was selected and either deleted or pushed. The edges of the left handle are way to noticeable. |

| The pot is nicely captured, but it is lacking something. |
