This lamp belonged to my grandfather and his father..he did his homework by the light from this lamp. It is wonderful to still see the life in something that belongs to a loved one who has long since passed away.

The shot for the topic would have been beautiful, but the focus is pretty bad.
It's difficult to see what's actually going on in the background.

Not very good focus in this photo, and too much glare from the lamp - a polarizing filter would've helped a lot.

Subject-6,light-2,composition-2,dof-5,contrast-2,3 from me! Lamp is tilted right,you could make it straight and not centered will look much better!

Great idea for the shot. I think it suffers from being centered and off kilter. The light has blown out the whole middle of the shot, but you did get the background in, which would be interesting in itself. Alot of noise there too. This may look real neat, just backlit, without the light on??

There is alot of digital noise in the picture and the light is overexposed....

looks like this shot could've used a tripod, it appears a bit shaky and the focus isn't too clear..

A bit blurry and noisy and what's up with the blue specs on the edge of the table? I'm also wondering what the light stripe across the top is all about. Is this a capture from a video camera? Nice idea and interesting vantage point, but the tilt doesn't seem enough to be on purpose so it just looks crooked.

Nice idea and composition, I just think the execution could have been better

seems a bit grainy and the glare from the light is a bit much in my opinion, also seems faded at the top, there seems to be a stripe going across the top of the photo that is very distracting.
