3. There is too much going on and none of it good.

Can hardly see the meatballs for the cheese. I think that's a piece of lasagna in the upper right and some/too much spaghetti on the left.

I would remove the spaghetti, centre the lasagna and do nothing to it, serve it just as it came out of the baking dish.
The meatballs could be smaller but not necessary and they need a lot less sauce and cheese.

The whole plate looks like it's drowning in cheese and sauce.

It needs a sprig of green on top of meat somewhere .... (?)

I'd choose a different shaped plate too. Something oval-elongated so the food wouldn't be lost in it.

It just doesn't look very appealing or appetizing the way it sits.

I guess just clean up the plate and dress it a bit.
