Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: I like the crisp focus on the lamp. It works well to pull the eye right into the image. I would like to see a bit deeper depth of filed to include some of the floor detail in the foreground.

Lighting: I also like the lighting. I do find the lone highlight on the left side of the image a bit distracting. The rest of the image is nicely lit.

Composition/Content: Nice composition. The lines of the blinds as well as your shadows work well with the focus to pull the viewer's eye into the frame.

My Opinion: I think that you met the challenge well, but you were lacking the needed pop to separate this image from the rest. I believe that the voters found that the challenge was met, but the content was a bit too commonplace.

A good day to quit. Would have liked the single reflection on the wall to have been cropped out.

Nice angle. It's hard to feel the emptiness of the room because such a small part of it is shown.

nice idea, but find the composition a bit dull.

Shot from too low of an angle for my tastes, I am not fond of the OOF floor in the foreground. But not too bad overall, good lighting, very clear, nice tones.

Amazing - I almost used a shisha as my prop - I'm amazed to see someone else with the same idea - after all they're not really common or garden items!
