An old-fashioned type of eggbeater, stuck betweent the wall and handrail of my staircase. Light is available overhead light, which I mistakenly chose as incandescents when in fact they were them newfangled twisty fluoursecents. Camera on tripod.

**Critique Club Comment**

Well the white balance and the somewhat harsh lighting I don't need to comment on too much. I think the main thing that I could see to improve this would be the actual personification. You chose a great object - I can definitely see how this would seem to be a person - but putting it in this particular situation doesn't really work that great for me. I don't feel emotionally engaged by the idea of what the object is going through. What might work better for me is to keep the ascending pose but add some more elements to the scene so that the object could be interacting with or reacting to them.
