Hi all!

Just a little backdrop I made for my Desktop. I don't like images in the 
background that push themselves too much into focus, and this one is simple, 
clean, and that's it.

It's actually cropped from the 1280x960 version for my desktop, surrounding 
it is just a blank, gray space, but I don't think I'd need to post that 
here, eh? :-)

Regards,
Tim

I designed my backdrop so that all the detail is on the right-hand side. 
(All the icons of course are on the left.) Very annoying when an image 
is so detailed you can't read the writing on top of it. :-S

Not bad. Quite good actually. Because the image expresses quietness. It is a 
kind of art and expression. I like it!

Thanks!

Yeah, quietness is what I was striving for. There's been so much fluctuation 
in my life lately, something quiet and simple was what I wanted. I'm 
thinking about putting a small figure in the image, sitting on some edge 
somewhere...

Tim

Yeah, that's a possibility. I was wondering that too, should I balance the 
image towards the right, since my icons are on the left? But then I thought 
that I usually don't observe the icons as part of the image, and then I'd 
always see the imbalanced image...

Regards,
Tim

Excellent!!
Somehow, it reminds me of something... Escher-like. I don't know why.
Perhaps because of the table reflected in an inverted version at the top?
It looks like a kind of strange game actually.
