Dinner in Prague with a view of the Charles Bridge!

(Prague)
A couple of the 7 wonders in the Czech Republic are located in the magical city of Prague. If you ever get a chance to visit this place, I promise it will be so invigorating that you will pinch yourself to wake up from the dream you will feel you are having.  I have to admit that when I walked around the city with history dated from the 13th century, it created very special moments for me. However to make this visit complete, I needed to add an experience of having dinner near one of the oldest bridges in Europe, the world famous Charles Bridge.

I had the pleasure of dining at a fabulous restaurant located underneath the Charles Bridge. People from all over the world travel here to get this experience. On a day where the restaurant had an exceptional "all you can eat"  menu that included fine dishes, I took the opportunity to test my plating skills and create a few compositions that I thought to be eye catching.

At first glance, what would you suggest the above plated image appears to be? I came up with a few ideas to describe it. Maybe it looks like a dolphin or a whale in my opinon - but as enjoyable as it was to plate, none measured up to the overall experience I had at the Mlýnec restaurant.
