Hi, I am Kari and from the critique club.

What a great picture you have taken.

First Impression - the most important one:
The pattern really works, the colours work, and the border complements the picture well.

Composition:
The angle that you have chosen for the lampshade works well to give the pattern required for the challenge. To some degree I wish to see more of the edge of the shade ... but am not sure if that would work.

Subject:
The choice of a lampshade is inspired. I did not actually figure out during scoring that this is what the photo was of.

Technical (Colour and light):
The colours are nicely contrasting. Using a border for this picture has worked well, and unlike some other pictures that I have seen it has not counted against you having one. The lighting and DOF are both very complementary for this shot..

To grow its vote?:
It is a good shot, this is a solid portfolio shot. There are many subjects and treatments that are fine photographs but just don't get a huge popular vote, this is just how things are.

Summary:
The picture is really good, and it works.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Congratulations and well done.

Kari

Simple, yet it grabs the viewers eye. Like the border.
