The composition seems a little staid ... a little too conservative somehow... and the top of the lamp begins to blend into the background. Beyond that, the rendering has a bit too much contrast ... the shadow in the important detail in the lamp is too dark, the mushrooms and other details on the tree stump are too hot.

If you captured RAW, I'd go back and pull down the contrast then in your image editor work on expressing the tonalities and highlighting the subject a little better.
