The entire rating system on this website is based on how many 10s you get. Its totally shocking how some crap photos end up in the top 10. This should be much higher, not saying this one is crap. But clearly the script on this site relies on the 10 rating a lot because people with more 10s and less 9s, 8s and 7s get far higher.

Texture and lighting on back wall is just great Nice sharp shadow from the fork "10" Just hope enough people notice this one. Seems if there aren't bells whistle and ribbons nobody takes notice. Deserves to be a top 3

The angle of the shadow on that extremely textured wall really balances this picture. Very well framed.
