| A unique approach, you get a point for that. But it comes off more orange than yellow to me in the overall shot, the yellow is around the base but it's overshadowed by the dark oranges surrounding it. Also seems a bit soft on the focus, just a touch. A 6 |

| I love about half of this image. The shade for the lamp is gorgeous, has wonderful colors and a great pattern that is picked up by the wall behind it. So from where that lovely yellow glass shade starts and up, I love. Everything below it, I hate. If you were to reshoot it, I would suggest taping up a black piece of cloth or paper along the shadow-line of the wall to give it a richer black coloring than the lamp will allow, reshoot and crop it right at where the lampshade starts up from the base. If it worked right I think it would give a great sense of color contrast with the deep black and the yellow/red and add a bit of punch. I wouldn't extend the material higher than the natural shadowline only because it would probably look unnatural and obviously material-ish with the direct light on it, instead of melding as it *should* into the shadows beneath. Just an idea. As is I like the potential of the image but not its current presentation. 4 |
