"I like the faded colours and illustrated feel to it."
Me tooo!!!!!! I gave this an 8 because I just love exactly what you do about it! The only reason I didn't score this higher was because I wanted to see it a bit bigger and with a bit more details in the shadows.
Great job on a fantastic image.
edit: Oh yes, and I wanted to also say that I love the creative title. :-)
Ok, I don't like the photo...but like you, I have no idea what it is. Maybe dirty laundry or crumpled papers? Better focus would have placed it at a 10 for this challenge...I'll go with 8.
