 What I am trying to do in this picture is show that even something like a plastic sharpener/fan can be brought to life by casting it's shadow on the wall.

I took many different shots of this, and found that it looked better out of focus. The shots where the fan was in focus was slightly bland, and there was no mystery to the image. I am quite positive I will get comments telling me it's blurry, but this is how I see my image.

The image was created by placing a bicycle light in front on the fan. The light inside has three little bulbs all in a row each separated by 1cm from the other. This is what creates the "3D" effect on the image!

I do hope you like it!

Plato would be proud! But perhaps a little annoyed at the wonderfully kitchy sunflower used. I'm not! 9

Strong concept , great setup, difficult to photograph !
I'd like to see an object in focus (the lamp/flower?). Great colors.
