Nice image. Good colour and well-composed. I like shallow dof but here I would have preferred to see the flame sharper. 8

I decided I liked this more the second time I looked, so I need to adjust the score a little. The flame is overexposed, but the detail on the lamp and the color there makes up for a relatively small exposure error. Sorry for the first score.

I like the warm glow, bringing out the structure of the lamp, good use of DOF as well. The longer I look the more I like it .... but have to move on to the next now.

A nice picture - would have liked the DoF to be deep enough to keep the knob sharp

Beautiful, moody shot. I will have to remember to show this to my husband - he's a big antique fan and I know he'll like this. I love the square composition and use of the full frame - the only nit-pick I'd have is the slightly blown out spot on the rim. It doesn't bother me that the flame is a bit burned out because, well, it's a flame and it's very small and it definitely gives you the feeling of the light and heat, but that tiny portion of the rim distracts me a bit.
