Happy Christmas Eve, everyone! I’m a beginner working on my plating skills and put this together for tonight’s dinner. I’m happy with the flavors, but I feel like the visual could be improved 🙂 Any tips on what isn't working here? I would appreciate any kind of feedback.

It's a Tonka Bean & Orange Crémeux with Spiced Berry Fluid Gel, Hazelnut & Spekulatius "Soil", Burnt Amber Shards, and Pomegranate/Mint garnish.

Thanks in advance!

    Something just feels awkward about this plate. Maybe try and do 3 smaller circles with dots and crumble placed linear. Dont think the black plate is adding to the dish. Something green maybe….

    Plate color is the biggest crime here. Need better contrast, aka white plate canvas since the food color palette is so close to plate color.

    Black plates work really well for some dishes. I have a braised octopus with carrot puree on the menu and it just pops.

    White or cream plate, and I’d put everything center, sauce in a clean line around.
