My first attempt at paint with light and I thought the shadows, the textures, and the sparkly beads were pretty.
Okay maybe not. I do agree about the blob in the middle...

A slight angle, either from the top down to see the interesting patterns comming from the light through the bottom of the glass, or just slightly to the side would help bring out the texture of the glass. Right now it's an interesting shape, but looks flattened with texture instead of enhanced.
I would have left a bit more space between the vase and the background to avoid the shadow. It took me some time to see that 2 rows of pearls are inside the vase, which cause a slight softness on 4 pearls at the top.
Overall a succeeded image.
