      I like the model and I am sure not the sage that guys like you are but I have a couple of questions/comments:

      • Is there a light source other than the lamps?
      • If the lamps are lit, should there be a shadow behind them or should there be a glow on the wall from the lamps?
      • If there is not another light source (other than the lamps), are the shadows from the desk and other objects be in a different direction?

        There is a lamp near the ceiling.

        I think the shadow is what you see as the light is mostly through glass, a glowing crystal finish.

        Shadows will change when the lighting is finalised.

            I like the first shot, but the colour temperature is way off. That is all that is wrong with that shot

              I am thinking about a few aspects of this, like the temperature of the lighting etc. I just need to put thoughts in order.

                    Oh just in case somebody thought I did a render of a oil lamp, sorry it is just an image I downloaded to show the colour temperature

                        It is getting better and better. My only comment, considering the selected rendering engine, goes to oil lamp's glass material. I guess a thin Glass (architectural glass) material will work fine.

                          Thanks folks. Majid, I tried that glass and not a lot of difference. Still thinking on this one for a while.

                            Do you mind sending the oil lamp model to me via DM or e-mail so that I have a look at, please?
