I don't like the wrinkled backdrop, but there wasn't time to reshoot, and I wanted to get this in for the olympics.

The natural farming is very cool.

Im not sure how this falls in to "straight" I onlt see the black and white fan which is not the center of attention of this shot. That aside I do like the composition but im debating if i like the cool colors, the fans provide contrast potential, but you let it stay mellow... Im on the fence on that aspect.

Details: Capture an image that includes only straight lines.

Plenty of curves in this photo, so really doesn't meet the challenge.

However, ignoring that
An interesting photograph. The idea to overexpose the face is interesting, but I am not sure it really acheived its goal here. Maybe a little too overexposed.
With this model, I would have been tempted to have a different background colour, then really emphasise the blue in her eyes. It could be a great feature that will attract attention in any photo of her, especially here where the two fans make the eye the subject. The blue is not as brilliant as the backgound is also blue.
The crop is great, the symetry on both fans with their lines at the edge works well. A great idea for a different challenge. Reshoot a little less overexposed and it could be stunning.

The shot seems to have a color temp issue, too blue. Also I cannot find the link to the challenge

Great composition, nice use of the lines in the fans, perfect model/makeup. The wrinkles in the backdrop do jump out at me - watch those details! The overall colorcast is a little too blue - could be improved with truer colors.
