Looks terrific & brings to mind an oil lamp my family used when the
electric would go out. We'd play cards by the light - flame looks just right to
me.

That's a great image. It's so crisp that I keep looking for artifacts, but I 
can't find any. The lighting, the colors, and the shapes are all very 
appealing.

Excellent work, Jim. The only thing I find a bit perturbing is the big 
yellowish shadow on the wall as it does not relate to something visible or 
even recognizable in the scene. Maybe that needs some thought.

The brass lamp seems really a brass lamp... very relistic!
(...and I like the "grainy effect" of the wall.)

The lamp is awesome!
Perhaps the edges of the table are too sharp compared to the object on 
his surface.
Nice work!
;-)

I like how you dared to put the lamp somewhere else than at the very
center of the image. The main object at the very center of the image is
almost always a very poor choice of composition (although there are some
exceptions). Being slightly on the side gives a much stronger artistic
feeling to the image.

That big shadow carving out a triangle on the back wall is not made by the 
lamp flame I guess? or is it? I cannot relate it to something and it is what 
troubles me :-)
