Yes, reduce the contrast between the lamp's shadow and the backdrop, and then don't make too much of the lamp itself, and you'll do fine. Even a subdued lamp will pull some weight away from that diagonal, and also balance the orchids horizontally.

I cut my finger badly today while sailing (How is that possible, you would be justified in wondering) and so this is the extent of my typing for the night. Karma settles everything, eventually.

Good luck. Have fun.
