Nepalese style light lamp

Although the traditional light lamp is just ahead of the light bulb( I couldn't hide it) but still it seems to have a nice view.. Please give your critiques..

I find the background a little distracting, ? could you have used the wall behind the lamp.
Perhaps the top of the lamp more in the frame, otherwise it is nicely in focus with good colour and detail.

Hi there,

I have a couple observations which I hope you find can serve you in the future.

If you look at the vertical lines of the hanging lamp and the structure of the wall, or if you refer to the horizontal line formed by the top of the blue fence, you would find that the image is simply not level. I personally find that distracting.

Also, I agree with a previous comment that the very top of the hanging lamp should be visible - I'm sure it wasn't a conscious decision to cut it off, but all the same, I wanted to point it out.

Unlike a previous comment left by another user, I like the extra 'space' in the scene to the right of the lamp - because of the reds, greens and blues introduced into the scene that otherwise would not have been found. On the other hand, I find that vertical black line (which appears to be a building structural support of some kind) to be very distracting and because of the contrast, I even find my eye drawn to it. Perhaps using fill flash to lessen the contrast found in that column would have made it less distracting (to me anyway).

I hope that helps a little - just things to think about when composing the images.
