Sta.sh
The mouth itself is lacking enough variation in shadows and highlights to feel tangible. It really feels quite cartoony. To some degree I could see where this would be desirable, but you're walking a line between cartoony and realism and the viewer is going to simply see the indecisiveness as a lack of skill (and I don't think skill is a problem with you). The light bulb also does not seem to be able to decide which way it wants to lean: cartoony or real.
The composition of this piece is also a bit confusing. I feel like there is a lot of emphasis in the top-right corner (the mouth) considering it's the largest object and it has the benefit of radiating lines coming out of it. As a result, the lightbulb gets an unfair shake. It's being treated like it's totally unimportant, but in actuality it's very important. Both the objects should be in closer proximity to one-another so as to not throw off the visual balance being created by the radiating lines.
Lastly, I have to ask: Is the mouth looking to eat the lightbulb?
