Not voting, just commenting. I like the color and composition. The light inside the lantern is especially nice and I like the black background. The crop seems a little tight on the sides, and the image feels a little off balance to me. I would try rotating it CW very slightly and I might tilt the little top ring toward the right. However, still life is not one of my talents, so please weigh what I have said against your other comments, and of course against your own preference.

Good lighting. I like the way you have balanced the light in the lantern and from the external source.

Personally I would have darkened the lighting in the image, so that it seems a bit more that the light is coming from the lantern. The lantern as it is now, obviously doesnt have any purpose in the image, other than being the main object.
