I wrote 8 but I was actually one of your 9's. I can't believe this didn't place higher. It's wonderfully artistic and a gorgeously made photo. Should have been in the top 10 IMO.
I like it more as a kind of collage than a photograph (or a photo of a collage), the composition is interesting, with words, straight lines and spirals, it reminds me of some surrealist works. Is it random or deliberate?
