The colours are beautiful, I like the square (or almost square) crop, and it's quite interesting to have all those stripes there. I am not so sure if the selectively soft focus works in this instance, but I'm having trouble figuring out why. Hmmmm. Maybe it's because of the bubbles and other distortions, they make the whole thing look slightly messy, and my eyes are having trouble figuring out what to look at. I don't know. This lamp is worth many more experiments.
Great colours! Again I would have to say this would look better with a slightly more of the lamp in focus, as it is with just the first few parts in focus the viewer isn't led into the shot my eye kind of stops once the pictures gets out of focus...just my opinion :o)
Nice abstract. Part of me really loves the gold and part of me wants to know what it looks like with the yellow saturation taken down a peg. I'm a big fan of earth tones though, and the rusts here are lovely.
