Plating wise,my preference would be to have one larger brownie as a focal point.
The quenelle of ice cream could be sharper, and the blue rim on the plate is distracting.
The textures look nice, it just seems too spread out. A (candied?) thyme sprig would actually make sense as a garnish too.

I’m well impressed by the effort to plate a new version of this, but I think this is worse than the original.
The blue rim is really hurting you here, it’s possible you’d get away with everything else if you used a plain, more rustic plate.
It’s important to understand that high-end styling is much less forgiving than mid-range. An example here is the dots. They look really scruffy. Perfect dots might have looked better than a perfect drizzle, but a scruffy drizzle looks better than scruffy dots.
Also, the lighting, exposure, and angle aren’t helping. It might sound ridiculous, but I think the bright whites are detracting from the dark tones in the dessert. Maybe someone with a strong background in food photography can say more.

This sounds insanely delicious! I think as a home cook you can be really proud of this one OP. Hell I’d be happy to receive this in a restaurant.

Maybe I’m dumb but the ice cream oak flavored, and is smoked using cherry and vanilla?
