Wonderful out of focus background. The spinner itself is slightly short of appealing. Maybe a slight rotation of the spinner itself to bring the left cup more towards us, exposing some of the face of the nearest cup? Also the curve of the support, if we could see more of that it might serve as a frame for the nearest cup? Commend you very highly on aperture and colors.

I like your dof on this one. it doesn't always work, but the blurred color fields make a nice background. good work.

Nice choice of subject, I can almost hear it squeaking as it tries to turn. One idea: I think I would have liked this better if the perspective was looking up instead of down (which could have been done just by flipping over the photo - the background is so blurred that nobody could tell). Just because most wind spinners I see I'm usually looking up at, which gives a feeling of it being up in the wind.

Nice colors in the background, I think a bit more contrast could be fine, good luck :)

Dont think this spinner works anymore

great photo like the background
maybe you if you turned the support 90 deg to the left before you took the photo to bring the rear loop into the same focal plane as the upright..... but that may stuff the depth of the shot, it really depends if the cups would hold the feel of depth
I'll stop rambling now :) 9

I like the colours, but a better background would've helped. You did blur it well though. 6

Well composed and in an excellent background setting. The soft pastel colors really make your image sing.
