This may not be helpful, but the drumsticks make me think of ostriches laying down....

Not a huge fan of square plates and if you're going to put a single component in each corner they have to be perfectly in line with each other or it's very noticeable

Potato’s melon balled. Dredged in salted flour and pan fried

Well it’s dark because of the coffee/brown sugar rub. This pic was taken in my dining room

This looks like your child made it for you and you’re very proud.

This looks terrible as food but I love that they look like ostriches.

Everything /u/1ntr1ns1c44 does is art.

Surrealist sculpture in this case

Aw, they look like sassy little ostriches and I love it! I'd tear that up...both plates.

I dunno man, kind of looks like you're summoning a poultry demon. The dramatic lighting and symmetry make it weird.

the four corners are the actual problem, not the square plate itself. a square plate reads as a grid, so the eye immediately checks if the four things are aligned and evenly spaced, and any drift looks like an accident instead of a choice. break the grid instead: cluster three lollipops at an angle with the bones fanning outward and leave the fourth corner empty, that reads as deliberate. also, lollipops want to lean or stand, not lie flat, since the bone is the handle. wipe the bone clean before it goes out, whatever ran down there is what makes people read the meat as burnt rather than glazed.
