Trev, I really like the composition here. I'm really beginning to enjoy these ordinary objects!!

Trevor, I think this is really good. I hadn't noticed the dark label until I read the others' comments; I guess it depends on where you want your viewers to focus.

Way too "techie" for me , Trevor- I do admire your pp skills and in this shot I think the angle & lighting are superb

If you don't mind fiddling with the lighting in PS, you can always use the 'Move the Light' tutorial that idnic put together. Simply put for this shot, you make a new layer, paint some white over the label, change the layer to soft light, and then use a heavy dose of gaussian blur. If it's too much, lower the opacity of the layer. Should spruce up the dark label pretty easily.

Nice use of the rule of thirds. If I worked in a factory making High Velocity Air Circulators I'd feel much better than making just fans.

They can charge more for a high velocity air circulator than for a fan. The concentric circles make it look more abstract and really point out the label as the highlight, but the label is pretty dark. Maybe a spot source of light like a penlight would emphasize it more. I can't tell if the blades are turning or if it's shallow DOF.

Nice use of rule of thirds. I like the angle you shot this at. I thought about shooting our fan, but it's too dusty. You did much better than I could have done. Great job!
