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 :-)

I see it as a shadow from a more luminous and remote lamp to something as a
stair and its post.
I like it because it gives us a hint of the scene behind the camera :-)

That is what I thought too... but there is something in the geometry or in
the relative position of this shadow that I find disturbing... I am unable
to be much clearer I am afraid.
On the other hand, it nicely frames the lamp.

There is a big window and you are seeing the shadow of the framework of that
window (half moon shape in center with panels forming a larger half moon).
Having the light from the lamp as the only light source was a problem. The
wideness of the base just under the lamp globe made a zone of darkness and I
needed an outside light source to get the lamp base looking like I wanted.

Thanks .... used a subtle trick I discovered by mistake! Basically the
camera orbits the table located at origin, depending how much "zoom" you use
a very small rotation of the camera around the origin works nicely. In this
case just 5 degrees.

Ha-ha ... I've already started work on the table. I've made a "tool" (box
differened by a cylinder) that I'm using to trim some of the edges. The lamp
DID turn out nice .... Thanks

Yes, I thought it was something like that. Maybe it is the alignment of the
window's shadow with the table which should be shifted a tiny bit in order
to break its symmetry. It is rather subtle what I have in mind and would
need a bit of experimentation. Also the wall would be great with fine lines
or cracks here and there, and/or some irregularities... Oh well, I should
stop now ;-)
To be sure, this is a great scene anyway, Jim, especially the lamp, but also
the feeling/touch of the objects.
