This works for me. The light play is quite attractive. However, I find
the crooked shade on the lower lamp somewhat distracting. Even if the
shade had been straightened, I think this is one case where I might
also try to alter the perspective so that the two lamps are parallel.
It feels like it would be more pleasing that way. But I like it as
shot.

Hi!

I've been told that this photo has broken composition. It is as if
there are two separates shots inside one - one with lower lamp and the
other one with the lamp above.
I think that the shadows and lights work together so that this image
is actually a whole.
Here is the question: is this composition really broken into two
halves? What defines a composition that is whole?
I mean not in a sense of rules or examples, but rather in a sense of
viewer's perspective...
Thanks.
