Hello - my above list was written from the perspective of a competitor not a judge. What our team trys to accomplish with our turn-in boxes...and trying to answer as asked what makes some of the pictures in this thread poor presentations...in my book as a competitor.
As a judge you only have a moment to make an appearance determination and yes you are judging the product and not the garnish. That said, the quality of the presentation (however subconscious) does affect the overall "appearance" of the meat. If that isn't the case then all the effort that goes into the presentation of our product and the discussion within this thread is mute!
