It was a challenge to get the exposure right, having committed to using the lamp as the only li9ght source. The nude was under exposed or the highlights were blown out. This is the best I could do within the rules!
Acknowledgements to Wayne 9232 for the idea.
Camera was tripod mounted, black paper background, coffe table, new Tiffany style lamp, magenta tinted water(!) and a bit of patience. Post processing: cropped, levels to clip and increase gamma. USM for improved sharpness. That's it!

I think the lamp is so bright and colorful it calls attention away from the the food and drinks which should be the focus of the picture. I like the idea but the lamp is destracting. The food seem a little blured.
Awesome subjects for this shot! Love (what I can see) of the lamp. And the potential interplay between the light and those glasses.... This shot however suffers from lack of adequate lighting.

this feels too spread out. I'd like to see the items grouped closer together, and forming a familiar geometric shape. I like the tones and lighting very much.
Nice combination of elements, but rather dark. The bottle and the lamp stand could have done with some light from the side the accentuate their shape, they get lost in the dark background. The wine looks like lemonade.
This is a little dark, but not too bad. I don't like how the lamp is positioned in the shot, and the lampshade is also a little tilted. The unknown object right to the left could be left out .. the table surface seems to be on an angle.
