A bit too much motion blur for "stopped motion"

too much blur, bummer.

Interesting how the action is more frozen near the hub of the fan and more blurred near the ends. Still it needs something more to be a compelling image.

You were obviously going for something abstract here but we were supposed to avoid motion blur. Perhaps a much faster shutter speed and tying something pretty to each blade to show the frozen motion. Hmmm, Frozen Motion, wish I would have thought of that name for my entry.

Comment by jmsetzler:
This is going to be a challenging comment, so please bear with me. A vast majority of the motion in this photo is not "stopped". The only moving parts that appear to be remotely stationary are the metal arms that hold the blades to the fixture, and the fixture itself. The inner spikes just outside the light are stationary to begin with. I like the artistic qualities of this photo but I don't think it's a good representation of the challenge topic.

I still see motion on the blades.

I am sure it was hard trying to freeze the hub spokes while allowing the blades enough blurr to show motion. This shot does not deserve all the "ones" it will surely get because of that blurr.

Interesting look at a fan, the goal was no motion blurs though! = P

This could have been a very boring, simple shot. But the shutter speed you used, making it dark and only a little blurry, really makes it fascinating. More towards the center would've been better, that's my only nitpick.
