Just curious. This is my new wall paper. I got tired of my old one. I just bought a new Maxtor external hard drive that holds 100 gigs. I have two computers in my house networked, so I took ALL the files from both computers and put it on the external drive and made that drive on the network as well. That means I just cut down the files on my computers by 4 gigs wee! Now they run a little better. Here's what’s in my wall paper on my one computer:

Ouch that hurts my eyes Monique, that photo is terrible. Who ever shot that is an amateur! EWWW...

If you want a good nature picture let me know and I can provide you with one. (That one is composed REALLY BAD, its like trying to make your eyes crossed looking at it).
 
It's called 3d and I happen to like it :-p, wouldn't want to have a flat picture.
 
Its not 3'd its field of depth, and its shot all wrong (They just adjusted the focal length of the lense)...Ill find you some pretty pictures and upload them for you. You will see the difference.
 
This one is nice too, although too busy for my taste:

On my old computer I used to have some old pics of Marilyn Monroe and there was one I had for a while of a pretty girl wearing fairy wings and bondage tape(it was actually a very pretty picture). I also nabbed some cool pics from the solar observatory and used those. Now I just use the work comp and I have a moon pic. On my MySpace page I use the famous Ocean's Eleven pic with Deano, Sinatra, Bishop, and Sammy standing around the pool table.

Hubble Ultra Deep Field: a dense field of thousands of faint galaxies of varied shapes and colours against a black background, with a few bright foreground stars with diffraction spikes.


Galaxies, galaxies everywhere - as far as NASA's Hubble Space Telescope can see. This view of nearly 10,000 galaxies is the deepest visible-light image of the cosmos. Called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, this galaxy-studded view represents a "deep" core sample of the universe, cutting across billions of light-years.

The snapshot includes galaxies of various ages, sizes, shapes, and colors. The smallest, reddest galaxies, about 100, may be among the most distant known, existing when the universe was just 800 million years old. The nearest galaxies - the larger, brighter, well-defined spirals and ellipticals - thrived about 1 billion years ago, when the cosmos was 13 billion years old. [continued]

Here Monique, I can get more upon request...

See the difference a good composition makes! :cool:

The butterfly is a shot with field of depth that was taken properly

I wouldn't think of having either of those as a background. And the butterfly is the same, since the background is all blurry. At least with the pine branch you feel it is coming at you from out of the screen, the texture/lightening is also really nice.

I happened across this one searching for backgrounds. It replaced my klein bottle background, which I can't find anymore... oh well.

umm...no not really...the butterfly is composed properly, the tree is not.
 
This is my laptop. The wallpaper changes daily. Today I have my main man Elvis (Seal Point Siamese) helping me make the bed.

I like that one. Unfortunately, it looks like Graph Tree doesn't exist anymore.

Search google images for "Error Island"

edit: nevermind. I guess it really isn't there anymore.
