My simple suggestion is that I would have gone with B&W. The color in the shot doesn't add a whole lot, and in those cases I always think about B&W. The shot then becomes somewhat more about the geometry and shapes. I like your composition and especially like the diagonal line provided by the roller axle (or whatever). My eye tells me I don't like the blur of the central metal piece, but I think that's personal preference. I tend to have trouble with liking motion blur.

So you use 16/64 for your high-radius USM? I've tended toward 25/40, but I also tend to do it before resize so that may make quite a difference. I'll have to goof around with that.

A play on words... clever; the photo itself leaves something to be desired as it looks more like a receipt tape to me. What do I know?

Great title and solid execution of the concept. The out of focus section in the front left corner is very distracting and takes away from the overall appeal of the photo.

I like the contrast of the still machine and the moving paper. Nice play on words with the title too.

Extra point for the play on words in the title.
