This is awesome, I realy love the simetric composition and the warm lighting, very abstract suggestion the only thing that does not match is the dark area on the bottom side, also i think that a bit of straightening is in order, since I see it's a little croocked.

I really like it!

rumatamx,

Thanks for taking time to critique.I agree that the black background is a lil crooked, but the lamp is actually straight. Thanks for the kind words.

definitely a good shot! I like it. that bottom right corner can be fixed by adding a gradient from black to transparent. then just adjusting from there. I cannot tell 100% but the horizontal line that divides the background doesn't seem 100% straight or even. easy fixes so no worries. I have no other input for this good picture!
