Meeting the Challenge:
This might be appropriate if someone was looking for a party theme photo, combination of colors and patterns, or maybe an Easter or Candy theme. Not what I would consider a typical stock photo, but with today's diversity it might well work for a particular need.
Composition:
The eggs do stand out to me, but the patterns in the bowl are a little distracting. The brightness of the center helps create the focal point. I am not personally wild about centered photos, and this is a little off from left to right. I might have left the wider horizontal edge at the bottom to give it a little "anchor" rather than having it at the top. I like the dark background, might have wanted to increase darkness just slightly more in levels to help even out the blackish areas in such.
Technical Quality: A bit over exposed in the middle, which detracts from the clarity in the middle section, esp with the little candies. I think you did well considering you were using a magnifying glass, though!
Creativity: Very good in this area, your photo was definitely unique.
Overall conclusion: I think your idea was good, but the bowl in the photo may really haved caused problems with exposure, and made the photo a little too busy and a little questionable about the theme of this "stock" photo.
