Wrong noodles. They're Japanese. Pho is Vietnamese and should have flat rice noodle that cooks in about 3 minutes
There is an inbalance of noodles left to right
The beef and the utensil are aligned, this allows the energy of the beef to escape
Beef is sliced too thick and is over cooked. Beef should be ultra thin and raw when added to the hot stock
Stock is the wrong hue and looks cloudy. Clouds are to yin for a yang beef soup! It needs to be less orange sunrise and more earthy brown
Soup bowl is too shallow. This lets the soup cool down too fast. Should be in a deeper bowl. Follow the lucky golden rule of depth=circumference/7*8
Soup should be dressed with torn fresh basil leaves and bean shoots that were harvested by buddhist monks
Utensil at the top right corner is at an odd angle and has distracting reflections. Really JT, this is my biggest gripe! Fix it in the future please.
Where's the chopsticks at?
There is more of the right side of the bowl showing than the left side in your photo. Same for the top
And finally, squinting while bobbing up and down to get the image in focus is giving me a headache. I need 6 more beers to bring it into focus
All frivilous whinging aside, do tell us your recipe and technique. Me love me some Pho long time

The Aussies even have the best critiques.
DAMMMN YOUU AUSSIES! DAMMMN YOUU!
Now I want pho ... and I just got home, too ... decisions, decisions ...
I haven't had a big 'ole fat steak for a while, so.... I marinated this big boy in McCormick's Sesame Ginger and then patted it dry, sprinkled it with salt, pepper, and Kung Pao powder, then into a screaming hot pan with a little canola. Flipped it and into the oven for about 8 minutes. BOOM. Oven steak!!!!
Nice looking bit of meat there. Delicious.
Oh man ... and I was totally looking forward to seeing what you'd been throwing down the past weeks too =) ...
Check I ♥ Wings.
I thought it was some teriyaki fish! What the...
