I learned a little about lighting on this challenge, I had my choice of a 500w quartz or 2 mag hand flashlights. Flashlights worked better.
Crop and saturation used.

i also really like your photo. i like to go back and make a comment on the photos i scored a ten but didnt do so well to let the photographers know that someone actually got and really liked their shot. this was just so simple it was great.
This simple, yet mysterious image is beautifully done. Fun to look at and must ave been a bit difficult to achieve. Hope you tell us in your photographer's notes. 9
This probably won't do well, but I really like this photo. It's very simple, but mysterious at the same time. The two light sources are obvious, even if one of them is out of the frame, and it creates a nice effect. 7
Why so small!? It may be just that I've seen three or four shots in a row that haven't used the available size by a distance, but surely this would have been more effective at 640xsomething? There's nearly 200 pixels of height you haven't used here ... whyever not? It's tha more annoying, because this could be wonderful - really wonderful: the effect of the lampshade on the things own stand, and the effect of that little cross-light on the shade itself could have brought out more, perhaps. You could have found that great range of tonality that black and white can really do, but that only really shows in the details, and the detail disappear in the sizing. 6
