How Not To Frame A Group Portrait

I think the subject of this picture is the ceiling lamp...but I could be wrong. The guys on bottom are drowning, you can't even crop your way out of this one. Just for good measure, it's crooked too. Don't know who took it, and I'm sure I never will, but was this person standing on a ladder? Oh, and when you use bounce-flash off the ceiling, best to leave that ceiling out of the shot. Other than those nits...well composed.
