    But maybe my imagination on that point is lacking a bit. 😉

    Perhaps OK as an illustration in an essay "How not to paint a wall."

    You know, I was thinking exactly that when I posted it, but was hoping the utter banality of the photo would usurp that observation.

    Hi,

    Rather interesting light angle to make those shadows of ceiling fan pull cords go across the ceiling and down the wall like that.

    I have the idea someone went to a lot of trouble making that happen so they could take the boring photo....

    Or they spent 5-10 minutes in post to add the pull cords

    Actually, photographed as seen. I even took a picture of it. 😁 Anyway, here's another from the same "series":

    Now where's my $5M? 😂

    I personally like this a lot. I think it would be even better if the door was straightened.

    The handyman wanted too much for the job. 😁

    More seriously, I see what you're saying, but I did try some "corrected" versions of the first photo, and they didn't appeal to me. When I adjusted for the second photo, it looked different, obviously, but not better. The problem was that the "correction" resulted in a tighter crop, which I didn't like, so imma gonna go with the original for that one, too. Here's a third from the series (which did have some correction done):
