Description
My first attempt at a still life setup.My camera is really poor, so the picture is kinda small.
Don't worry, I didn't make it small to cheat. -_-;;
I know there isn't anything great about it, comments on how to improve welcomed.

Not bad at all 
Personally, I would not have drawn the lamp on the left. It breaks up the negative space on that side of the picture and is a visual distraction. You have a strong diagonal from the lower left to the upper right corner, but that lamp keeps jerking my eyes back over to the middle left of the picture. Also, what is that white rectangle in the upper right behind the bucket?
I really love the texture on the pot in the front-middle. I almost want to touch the screen to feel it. The perspective and texture on the leaves of that plant are very well done, too.
Keep up the good work!

Yea, the camera kinda killed it. The whites are a bit whiter and the darks are a lot darker.
As for what the white blog thing is, it was an oil lamp. You can't really tell from the photo...the picture was big. Maybe 2x2 ft approx, and no matter how I tried to angle it, there was a glare.
And I drew the desk lamp because I wanted to see how well I could draw something shiny and reflective.
Thank you so much for your amazing critque and comments. It made my day.

I've learned the hard way that I just don't have the talent to photograph my own work, so I either scan it or take it to a professional and let them photograph it.
oooooh... shiiiiiiney.... I love drawing reflective and transparent surfaces!
My pleasure

i'm not a very good artist myself, but some of the shadowing looks wrong.
but really, it's very good, the shading is awesome
looking at the plant makes me think it is like something from those animated movies where the things look like they're made of clay...

It's looking good, but i think you need more darkness in some place because the positions of lights seem wrong.

Woah.. I feel like I could just reach out and touch those leaves and they would be real... yes, I have eaten too much sugar tonight. But regardless, your skill is superb!

Hmm, I did a still-life for an art assignment not too long ago, but that was so much easier than this. What an outstanding job with the lightsource(s?). I like how the plant and the flowers reflect the light. Awesomely done!
