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. |

| Compositionally, it's a bit busy (the wall/ceiling is distracting) and it looks like a color balance adjustment might have cured the yellow cast. Of course it is a Light Bulb challenge, so maybe that's the effect you were after. In that case, a tighter crop might have helped. |
