Default lamp

ok, heres a picture of a lamp in my t.v room. i was a bit bored and I liked how the sunlight was hitting the lamp and creating a shadow onto the drapes so I took a couple of pictures and liked this one the best. im new to this forum as well to photography so any suggestions, comments and thoughts would be helpful.

I love it! I love when people take a "boring" object and photograph it in an interesting way. I like the contrast too (dark on the left, light on the right)... what a cool shot. (I'd clone out the two little dark spots on the left side though).

snooze,

The black and white adds to the simplicity. I too like the shadows. Do more shots. The objects in the top of the frame are a distraction for me. Nice work.

Great shot. I like the contrast and the play of the vertical lines and shadows. I also find the stuff at the of top of the photo where the shadows meet the top of the curtains to be distracting. Perhaps a crop may help or maybe a slightly differant angle if you can retake the photo. It is still good as is though IMHO.
