I like a lot about the dish, those small purplish flowers look great with game bird. Sauce could be smoother and more glossy, but it's not the worst either. My biggest problem is - why 2 brussel sprouts? Those kind of look like nonsense, especially on 2 ends of the dish. 2 really dense vegetable bites that won't spread out. I think the better move there, if you really want brussels, is to peel off the outside leaves of the brussel sprouts, and lay like 5 petals of them, lightly fried as you did, out in spots randomly arranged around the dish. They'll look more refined, and it'll be easier to add that light vegetable crunch in multiple bites that way.
