I like the many lines in this shot, as well as the colour of the wood. It looks a bit like this is Sequioa (redwood), or isn't it?

I like the colors...the composition confuses me. Is the fan the focus of attention? Where do the lines lead?

I think the composition might be improved if you had moved slightly to your left, so that the ceiling looked a bit more symmetrical? As the previous comment says, the colours are great, but the eye isn't always sure which lines to follow. Then again, something like this, where the shadows from the flash form part of the composition, can be hard to pre-visualise.

I like the lines and the wood, but could have done without the fan and the cable leading to it.
