The fireworks are great but there's something in the way on the lower right that spoils this picture.

I would play with this to liven up colour and/or contrast somewhat, after rotating to get the right side of the rightmost bottle vertical. Good subject, great lighting, clever positioning on the table.

IMO a different color background and inclusion of all of the third bottle would have improved this image

This looks an awful lot about the golfer, not about landscape.

Cool lighting. The flatness of the tonal values in the background is odd. Like you've done something in post processing to pull out the shadows, but it's killed the contrast. This seems like an image you took sortof randomly, and tried to fit into this challenge - especially with the title. This is a candid picture of a golfer, not a landscape.

Critique Club Review:

Color, Saturation and Hue: Saturation is appropriate. Looks like there might be a color shift towards yellow.

Brightness and Contrast: Contrast appears a little low, and brightness a little bright. At the center of the lamp it appears almost hazy which can happen when contrast is low and image is bright.

Focus and depth of field: Focus is sharp enough, depth of field should have been either shallower, or deeper. The rim of the shade at the top appears to be going a little soft.

Subjective opinion: Picture is too bright. The interior of the shade looks washed out. The ends of the chain pulls compete with the light bulbs for attention. Your background outside the lampshade would have worked better in soft focus, or allowed to go dark. There is something (string, wire, crack, ? not sure) leading away from the lamp at about the 10 o'clock position, that is a little distracting also.

I do like the idea of the two out of three bulbs working. This fits the 1890s theme well. I also like the clear bulbs. Too many would just slap softlight modern bulbs in there and clicked away.

To me this seems more an architectural shot more than a landscape.
