Greetings from the Critique Club...
Your score guess was pretty close, but a 6.04 is still an excellent showing in a challenge. Since you admitted to complete conceptualization, design, and execution of this image, I suppose I can be a bit harder on you :)
First of all, the food looks tasty and well executed in that department :) Compositionally, I'm not a huge fan of the perspective. I'm sure there is a reason you chose it, but this view is rather flat and two-dimensional. The application of the gaussian blur also feels a little uncomfortable to me as well around the top edges of the image.
I think this image is very well done for the purpose of stock imagery. It would also make good menu or restaurant art.
I personally find it more difficult to critique an image in a challenge like this one simply because of the topic. Some topics allow the artist to express themselves a little more than others. This is more of a commercial art assignment rather than a simple artistic endeavor...
You did well though.. Keep up the good work!

| I expected top ten with this excellent image, however based on the comments you've surely scored with the DPC appetites. |

| The best I've seen today regarding the appropriate color of food, especially a combination of different colors. Well done ... and extremely appetizing. |

That looks delicious!
When I first saw this I wasn't sure about it, as the crust of the bread seemed a bit sharp and the blurring around the edge of the chopping board seemed too soft. But on second glance I think the two cause each other. i.e. it's only the sharpness on the bread that makes the board seem too soft and vice versa. On balance I think it looks about right.
The scene looks very natural, and not at all staged. Ironically I bet it takes real effort to make it seem so effortless lol.
The colurs are perfectly vibrant and not all over-saturated. In short, this is my favourite shot of the challenge so far. Oh go on, have a 10 ;-)
Edit: I was worried about submitting a "recipe" shot for this challenge. I came to the conclusion that pasta's one of those foods that doesn't photograph well, looking sometimes like it was sort of thrown on the plate. Your shot proved me wrong :-) That said, my shot does look thrown on the plate and is scoring accordingly. If you've got a moment, would you mind having a look at my shot when voting is finished and telling me what you think? I've got a lot to learn about food photography, although it is one of my favourite sort of shots. Thanks a lot :-) |

| This looks so yummy. Love the colors and the set-up. Why did you soften the edges? 7 |

| I think that there are a couple of problems. the first one is that loss focus on the tomatoes and the red peppers, the second one is the background. |

| I have to stop voting here, I'm getting too hungry and this is the most appealing dish so far. Also a very appealing photo - well lit, well composed. |
