Composition (Content)
Having the fan off to the side makes for a good setup, but the curtain pulled off to the side and the distraction of what is behind the fan makes it hard to get a feel for the shot. Perhaps having the fan with a black background and having some string tied to it so you can see that they were being blown by the fan would help convey the feeling of motion. As it is now, I can barely see some motion blur in the fan blades and the photo has a lot of distraction around the main subject.

Background
Colors are muted and soft. Looks like a single direct flash was used. Shapes and colors don't draw the attention of the viewer. A less noisy background would help focus the viewers attention on the fan.

Camera Work (Technical)
Fair shutter speed to capture the motion. Perhaps and little longer would help us see the motion of the fan blades. White balance seems off on the curtains as there is no pop with the colors or contrast.

Digital Processing (Technical)
Sharpening is fair(It does not appear to have post processing sharpening done)
Balance between light and dark is fair. (The whole scene seems flat in color)
Compression is good(No noticeable compression artifacts)

My opinion
I feel that this idea is original enough if properly staged. Either by putting the fan in front of a solid background and opening the shutter longer to see the spinning of the blades, or by showing the motion of the curtain being blown by the fan.

Is the fan on? I can't really see the motion - pic just looks blurry.

You have frozen the fan blades in place, so it looks as if they are off. I know that they are moving because I can see through them, but I think a bit more blur from the blades would of improved the photo. jgillard6
