Good photographs...several. But, the wallpaper should be - in my opinion - an image that allows an arrangement of icons that are clearly visible and do not impinge of the central point of the subject. Tim Conway's submission is an excellent photograph, but plastering icons on it ruin it as a photograph. With 20 or 30 icons in that scene it would become a mess even if you kept the icons to the upper left in the trees. The Duck's image, with icons, would lose that symmetry that makes it interesting. Icons would look very out-of-place in Peter Newman's shot (which is grossly over-sharpened). Bret's image is a superb image but one that would be tacky as hell with icons. Bowser's is the worst as far as wallpaper material. And so on. I am not at all impressed with this month's collection because it's a purpose-designed project and the submissions don't handle the purpose. Perhaps I keep more icons visible than others, but there's no way I would try to fit my icons around some of those images. For the most part, I'd ruin some good photographs and make my icon distribution far too complicated. If I used a screen-saver, most of these would work for that. But I don't use a screen-saver. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida

Top 3 (IMHO): 1. Spanjaard 2. Douglas 3. Roper This ordering is considering the purpose being wallpaper. The Spanjaard pic is very easy on the eyes. I also liked the New Orleans pic, but not as wallpaper. That wouldn't last long on my screen. I took some pics, but not all that happy with them, for various reasons. Maybe next time.
