Wallpaper seems to have a recurring outdoor theme dominated
by natural beauty. Most of the shots are filled with personal
memories, experiences or images that reflect a calm moment.
None of the wallpaper here would impact screen icons that
they need to co-exist with. Well done all.

Nice like good wallpaper it grows on you as the subtle detail sinks in.

Not actually sure who submitted this. Great shot of the
panhandler, would have made a good faces shot. As
wallpaper it lacks the depth of field that would have
drawn the viewer in on those daydreaming moments.

It has all of the elements, great reflection, color, silhouette
of trees, interference patterns. I like it, well done.

One of my favourite places within walking distance of
my home. Water cascading down a total of 120 feet
over about quarter a mile.

Well done image of an inner world. Great detail.

I am not sure what makes me uncomfortable with
this shot. I find my eyes jumping around the image
from focus point to focus point and not being comfortable

This comes across as a nice memory. I was drawn
to the figures on the beach and then left to imagine
what they are doing.

I would have liked more detail on the seagull

All of the dynamic elements of a summer storm. I like it

Sounds of the sea, you can hear the crash of the waves

This is interesting. I am not sure how to take it.
I keep being drawn back it by the detail and color
in the feathers.

I like the fog effect on the spires but do not like the
haze on the mountains.

You did it, freefall is over and nothing left but the
bump at the end. I would have liked to have had
more space on the left for screen icons.

Almost a classic wallpaper shot. Fits the screen
nicely, leaves room for icons, has layers of detail.
Details keep drawing you back. Well done.

I like the way this is framed by foreground grass,
trees, icons and beach

Dunno what's going on, but none of these fit my 22" monitor (Samsung
SyncMaster 2253LW). I need to scroll to see the entire image on every
one.

I tested my submission, and it fits my monitor perfectly. No
scrolling required. When I click on the pBase page to see my
submission, it is larger than my screen. What was an image that left
plenty of space for icons in light-colored background areas, is now
too crowded with the jumper.

When I shot this image I forgot to set the temperature switch on my
camera, so the sky is the actual color it was in nature.

Some nice ones. My favorites are:

Elliot Roper Sandpaper
Wal_Robert_Spanjaard
[SI]-wallpaper-sid

Others may have too much dark/light areas to back up icons,
or parts that are extraneous, or awkwardly (and annoyingly...)
tilted, overly (and unevenly across the screen) detailed, etc.,
but some of these do fall into another "2nd best" category for
me...;-)

Hey, it's baby guy. What more do you need on your desktop?

Just the pBase browser. I don't use wallpaper, and wouldn't even use
my own submission. I use "Fences" (
http://www.stardock.com/products/fences/downloads.asp ) on my desktop
and prefer a nice, clean, imageless background.

John Sisker is looking for a insertion point in his camera. If he
forces it in, it will be a wrecktal thermometer.
