  1. Looks great. To not leave it at that I’ll be extremely nitpicky in order to produce some hopefully useful feedback. The main thing I would try to incorporate the elements a bit more with one another.

    Right now to me it doesn’t look like one dish it looks like cheesecake and mousse and berries and for some reason pistachios. Also I would get rid of the powdered sugar on the plate, you can powder your raspberries and transfer them to the plate with some offset tweezers, the powdered sugar doesn’t add any visual appeal on a white plate its just noise.

    I’m unsure of the purpose of the pistachio here I would assume it’s for texture but they’re just sitting on their own on two piles so I’m wondering how you imagine they’re eaten. Are they to be eaten with the cheesecake? The mousse? The berries? I would look to incorporate them differently maybe as a tuile as cliché as that is, or a pistachio ‘dirt’ (you can make crunchy dirt by incorporating chocolate to clear, hard ball stage sugar syrup).

    Looks wonderful, but “sugared raspberries” feels lazy and like you just wanted to use a descriptor in the title more than it actually contributes to the dish. Either finesse the berries some how or just call them berries. Idk I know that’s a weird nitpick. I would still crush this.

    Such a beautiful plate, but the strawberries are a let down. The tops should be removed.
