Those look ginormous and are definitely envy-inducing.

Would welcome any thoughts and/or creative criticism on presentation! First course of an at home tasting.

Sauce looks great and scallops look very nice!
I’d lose both garnish and do something that’s more edible – eating a plain parsley leaf isn’t very tasty and the orange rind is obviously not edible
Maybe make a parsley oil or a gremolata w orange zest. Orange supremes could be nice as well as an element with some texture and salt – you’ve got a lot of sweet flavors here so balancing it with something like a crispy shallot or a crispy pork product (pancetta, bacon, etc) could help bring it all together

Nice looking dish. Personally, I’d probably lose the garnish on the scallops.

I think you should try to get a harder sear on the scallops, but that’s just preference. Looks delicious!

Sauce looks nice but there is too much of it on the plate. Lose the peel and maybe do a supreme or dehydrated/ freeze dried pulp.

I think you’ve done a really good job here. Scallops look nice and your beurre blanc doesn’t appear split.
The parsley doesn’t really have a place here, yes it adds a nice color pop but it doesn’t have any other tie to your dish, I’d get rid of it and as mentioned above if you need the green, incorporate it into a gremolata or something. That is a lot of beurre blanc, I would not put that much on the plate, as well that is a lot of zest, and while it looks nice and has a tie to the dish it has too much pith left on it. If it were my dish I think I’d try preserving the orange rind in salt sugar removing the pith and the julienning.

Really nice start here.
