I think cropping this, or taking the picture may have made it more interesting. Also, I tried a shot very similar to this, and I found out that if I adjusted the contrast and brightness a bit, I could get some really deep shadows around the edges, adn that may have eliminated the trim where the ceiling meets the wall.
I like the shadows cast by this light fixture... i wish there would have been some way to capture this without having the walls and molding in the image... - jmsetzler
Very cool patterns. It's an interesting light, but I think the composition could have been stronger if you just cropped it down and showed part of the light and its patterns on the ceiling and cut out the walls.
I have lights like this in my house and almost did the same thing. I think I would like it more if the focus of the composition were the pattern on the ceiling.
Mmmm... Pretty patterns! I think it would have been more interesting if shot directly under the light, with the patterns spreading out around it. Still, I like.
