Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is really a striking image - I had no idea what it was until the whole picture came up - and while that adds to the mystery, I also think it's part of the reason it did not score higher. A bit more light on the subject I think would have helped to give this image more depth and make it more recognizeable. It looks like there is a 4th flower on the left (or is it a reflection?) and seeing just a little more of that would be just the right amount of extra light. Also, I think that the tilt of the shade is a little distracting.

All in all, though, this is a really interesting photo of a very ordinary (albeit a little unusual) object. I think you did a nice job of capturing it, and as I said before, the darkness does add to the mystery, and perhaps that's really what you were going for.

Little bit too dark. The frame would also be nice.

I'd like a bit more definition in the shade, lighting is effective

Even if the lamp's corroked, i'd like to see this with the shade looking level.

Nicely composed. A touch of fill lighting would probably help give it more punch!

This is very cool- I love how there's very natural lighting coming from just the lamp
