The effect is lost without some hint of the blades themselves.

The colors are beautiful, but it's a little grainy. Also, I'm not sure I like the head-on angle and how it's centered in a square. This adds abstraction (I never would have known what it was without the title), but I think it could be more dynamic from another view.

If you didn't say it was a fan you wouldn't know it. Alittle faster shutter speed would have slow the fan down.

why is the picture so yellowish?

I don't get a feeling of speed or motion from this, but it makes an interesting abstract

excellent invisible fan blades....... superior crop and image size!! A true abstract minimal image. Hot colours and light source (and temperture?) Centered and symmetrical. Easy to look at.

it would be helpful if you could see remnants of the individual wings. without it, I would don't sense any speed. I only know what it is by your title.

Unfortunately, I'll have to take your word that this is a ceiling fan. Apparently it was moving fast enough to be completely invisible to your camera, possibly excepting the left-side shadow. This looks like nothing but a slightly blurry photo of a light fixture, to my eyes...not something that gives me an illusion of speed. The yellow-orange cast is also highly distracting.

Lucky you told us!

I like the way the light shines on it, but I dont see the fan blades, I think that if they were in the picture it would be better.

nice colors here - however the shot would have been more effective for me if I had been able to see some of the spinning blades. without the title I would assume this was just a light fixture.

A slower shutter speed would have allowed us to see each blade with motion blur.

can't see the blades, so I can't tell it's moving. lacks detail

this just didn't work for me.. lost without the caption as to what it is.. sorry
