 Worked hard on the lighting for my first submission. Go "easy" on me. ;)
Raw TIFF, Rotate canvas 4 degrees, Touched the levels, Sharpen edges, Masked, Blur, Stamp tool, Crop, Border. After 20 or so shots I started to like the way the shadow gave the illusion that the mixer was standing on it's own. I used a blend to black, in the top left, to enhance that illusion. Plus added a blur to help the non-existant depth of field my Sony'Zeiss lens gives me. :)

Do it again - but not on a woodgrain surface - and I'll give it an 8 or 9. ;-)

Definitely low tech. Something about your camera angle makes this look like the egg beater is hanging in mid air with a table above it (rotated 180 degrees perhaps?) The highlight on the end of the beater seems overdone, but achieves a side-effect of drawing my eye right to that focal point. A second light on the top left corner would balance the whole and make the subject look less suspended. Nice detail on the subject itself however.

I like the lighting and it's fade. The subject still looks pretty stark though.

Maybe a different angle would have looked better?
