I take it you used a blue potato for the purée. What are the other blue elements between the scallop and the purée?

The rocket, tomato and lemons need to go.
Is that also red cabbage below the scallops?
There’s an idea there for a dish that works here but it seems pretty cobbled together. It needs more thought and refining.

Might be bad lighting because i do love everything i’m seeing on the plate, but it’s a little busy. I think i would swap the rocket with sorel or some microgreens bc those look a bit sad

For me this is a rather unappetizing dish. The pale pink/purple is unappealing. The gloss of the yellow sauce makes it look slimy, although I suspect that’s mostly a lighting problem. Worse yet is the lemon slice – I don’t put anything inedible on a plate directly. If you want to let people add lemon juice themselves there are much more classy ways.
Finally, and this is what I see people miss all the time – this is a very fussy plating approach, and with those approaches everything needs to be perfect, but your greens are torn and some look rather tired. With your mis en place level, you would benefit from a much more relaxed plating style.

I imagine there are going to be a lot of questions and criticisms about the color of everything so I’m not going to touch it.
My constructive criticism is about your amounts of each item: scallop looks smaller than an 8/12; it’s 2 MAYBE 3 bites. Your “other stuff” is about 4 to 5 bites so that means that a diner can only have 2 “perfect forkfuls” where they can load a little bit of everything on a fork and enjoy all the flavors together. You need to add 2 more scallops WITH your current load out of “other” for a complete dish OR take away “other” if this is for a tasting menu.
Hope to see an updated version of this dish!

It looks very gross, it probably tastes great but the colors look off-putting combined

Oof this is the roughest plate I’ve seen in a while. There are so many inedible things on that plate. The colors are awful, garnish is useless.

Can you talk about the potato puree?
