Would have liked to see more separation between the edge of the lampshade & the background, they blend together too much for my tastes.

black and white suits this well

The lamp shade is a bit too dark creating a very large area of wasted space imo - maybe if it was a dark shade of grey it wouldnt impose too much on the subject but would add something more to the image so that the space up there wasnt so bleak.

I was seriously hoping this one would be top three at least.

The best representation of progress I have seen, and well executed.

Pity, but still an awesome shot.

Comment by LalliSig:
Love the dof and bokeh, just wish the whole image was a bit brighter as the backround is kindof too dark and blends in with the foreground because of that. 6 from me.

The execution of this photo is your savior here. IMHO, I don't think the creativity is great, I think the subject is boring, and it really doesn't adequately connect to the challenge. However the execution, and overall image here is extraordinary. The mood is great, the image is sharp, and it stands out. Im giving it an 8 on shear execution. Great job. GL.

I may even come back to bump this up.
