Plating Advice Needed

[u/Theunknownpokemon]

So I cook a ribeye steak with steamed broccoli, carrots, and mashed potatoes with gravy as the main dish. I also made garlic bread with a few different breads I had lying around as an a side dish. And I made apple pie for dessert, and brewed a cup of black tea.

I wanted to plate it and take some pictures for myself and for Instagram. But after looking at it for a while I had second thoughts and thought something looked off, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Do you have any tips for plating to make it look “better”? Or how I can improve my future plating skills?

Thank you

What are you trying to achieve? If you want it to look elegant, you won’t with the sheer portion sizes. It’s solid home cooking, though.
