I like the motion of the fan! I'm not sure if this may be improved with the tiles being parallel to the framing. Very nice.

Hi John! Maybe so, but I cropped it that way on purpose to give the viewer a sense of being off balance. I'm glad you like it anyway.

Really, thanks for looking and the input. I value all input I get from my friends here at Fred's!

Hi Carrol! NOBODY likes my crooked lines, huh? Oh well......I'm happy you like the texture and motion, but as I said before, I left that line on purpose. It's probably not a 'winner' but I'm stuck with it.

I really appreciate your input, my friend!

Hi Philly,
I like this shot a lot. Lots of interesting textures to look at, It's very nice. They show up much better in the large image than in the thumb nail. The fan blades have a star like quality, quite appropriate for the season.

Thats awesome.
I look at it and it seems to be moving. Very cool.

Thank you, Klaus! That's exactly how it felt to me, and I'm so glad you feel it, too!
Much appreciation!
