Lightshade and Metal Siding

Thanks for looking.

Love the light fixture, the light, the colours, shadow of the arm holding the light all yummy! That shadow gives it a duality of where the light is hanging from.
I'm on the fence about the shadow of the shade though, I know why you included it, I tried to crop it closer and it doesn't work well but it makes me want more of it somehow.

I like everything about the image except for the small sliver of gray at the bottom of the siding...either more, or none at all. Very unique shot. I like.

I love the perfect focus on the close edge of the shade and the shallow DOF - that and the nice light and texture on the background really make this work. The only thing I'd do is follow ceeboy's suggestion.

Thanks folks! I added the boarder to mask what was on the bottom (thought it was a distraction), but I agree that perhaps showing all might be preferred.
I wanted to cover more, but this was the max for the border size in Color Efex Pro. I felt the same about the sliver left at the bottom, but decided to post to get feedback. I'll post the borderless version when I get home.

Thanks again.

Borderless version. Shadow at top is from roof overhang.
