Darkening the background to focus on the lamp is a good touch, but personally I think keeping the lamp light's color saturation closer to the original might look even better.

This one all I did was adjust the contrast.

Nice! For what it's worth, I don't think the original edit's bad, I just uh...Mixed you up with the other person that recently posted here asking for feedback. That's what I get for not reviewing usernames. 😅

Feedback's always appreciated by me. And no worries 👍 easy done.

Was about to ask if you live in medieval England and possibly had a vampire problem in the evenings.

I work at Stirling Castle, in Scotland.

How does one get to work there?

Well, there's many routes. I chose the "use chatGPT to help draft my long form answers" and be a stone mason route. It's not a bad gig. Pay is absolutely miserable, but we're salaried, get a decent pension and not pushed near as hard as in the private sector. That said, my wages were almost literally cut in half when I took the job. I guess long story short...you apply. If you're in trades, and in a position where you can afford to take a pay cut. If you want to get into trades and are keen on an apprenticeship. It's decent. Basically, if you're starting or finishing your career, it's a great place to be. Or if you have a steady stream of side jobs or a hustle.
