I like the almost abstract patterns of horizontal and vertical lines along with the "organic" curved metal of the lamp.

It's dizzying. Great photo. The ends of the spikes are lined up nice with the edges of the photo, however, the curves of the glass are not quite there. That, combined with the angle of the post, gives the viewer (me) an off-balance feel. As if I'm falling into the photo or just falling with the photo. I like it.

Very dramatic sky complements the abstract lines of the lamp. Very nice capture, it might look better with perfect bilateral symmetry.
