Somebody needs to take this EXACT shot with an alienware notebook - possible one of the newer M17X models. IT WILL LOOK AWESOME !

In the 1440x900 version of the wallpaper viewed on a 27inch High Definition Screen I found that the White light reflected onto what seems to me as the left speaker and lower left portion of the laptop is slightly pixelated. I love the shot but when I see static in a photo I cannot place on my desktop. Other than that it is very artistic.

Re the issue of the brand, I feel the same way as Myles. It does not matter that the brand is Apple per se; it could be Sony, Windoze or Brittany Spears. Brands just don't feel right to *me* on a desktop. I disagree re the removal of the logo however. It is one of the only parts of the image sharply in focus and gives it shape and life to all mac fans for whom this is perfect. Good shot.

Michael Do and Stubulman, you both make excellent points, and I admire your arguments which are both equally valid in your responses to my post. The issue here boils down to personal taste. I honestly love this wallpaper; I believe the lighting is excellent considering it is emitted solely from the laptop itself - very unique. I'm not questioning the quality of work here, but more of personal taste when it comes to the Apple Logo. It seems what I stated has been blown way out of proportion for such a minor remark! I did not intend it to fuel such a massive debate over something so trivial. I do hope you both don't take my opinions the wrong way, as I mean absolutely no disrespect in what I say. Purely for critique purposes, I would suggest a removal of the logo, but this does not constitute that the author SHOULD do that, but such constructive feedback is surely better than someone merely stating "amazing", since that sort of response does not help the author progress in their work. I'm a filmmaker myself, and if people were to just tell me my films are "amazing" then that wouldn't do much but light my ego. I would much prefer to have someone scold my work and provide valid and informative reasoning as to why they do not like it so that I may improve on my next films. That's how I see criticism as being; but perhaps we all have different definitions of the word. For me the logo will seem silly on my PC, but that surely does not constitute my opinion as being invalid does it? I hope people are open-minded enough to at least take my opinion and recognise it rather than immediately negate it. Anyway, I really do not wish to discuss this any further since it is so silly to talk about such a minor dispute! Thanks for the enjoyable debate though :)

By the way, I've never seen a more tasteful photo of a MacBook - it instantly made it into my favorites.

Myles, an Apple logo on the desktop of a Dell computer looks no more silly than a Sony logo on the desktop of a Toshiba machine. It seems to me that your idea of "silliness" stems from the ridiculous notion that a Mac is somehow categorically different from a PC. In fact, they are anatomically identical - if you throw out the case and look only at the electronics, you will not be able to tell an Apple computer apart from a Dell. They use the same Intel CPUs, the same nVidia/ATI graphics cards, the same Hitachi HDDs and the same RAM parts. The days of the PowerPC Macs are over and Apple *is* now in the business of manufacturing PCs. Apple's PCs simply have an extra firmware that allows Mac OS X to be installed. I have to agree with stubulman that you cannot ask the artist to strip off the identity of the computer to suit your whims. If it were a Sony logo on the back, would you care?

I have voted for both Republican and Democratic candidates even though they are rivals and I am registered to only one of the two parties. I didn't feel the least bit silly. I have both Mac and PC's on which I wouldn't mind an image bearing a Mac or a PC logo. It wouldn't make me feel the least bit silly. In fact, on my iMac I run Windows via Boot Camp. It doesn't make me feel silly at all. I recommend both Mac and PC's to my computer clients depending upon their needs. I don't think I'm obtuse. If you feel awkward displaying an art shot of a mac laptop as a wallpaper, so be it. Good night an God bless.

stubulman, you totally misinterpreted my point. I stated that the apple logo would look silly as a desktop wallpaper for a PC user and in order for PC users to have this image on their desktops without it looking weird would be to remove the Apple logo (the rival to PCs) You are taking this logic out of context and twisting it into something it isn't. Applying such logic in comparison to religion and motoring is simply absurd, and adds nothing to your argument. This debate concerns the hypocrisy in having a wallpaper for a PC that is of its rival - the Mac. Allow me to elaborate; Macs and PCs are similar but seperate electronic devices, and having a wallpaper of a Mac on a PC desktop would look rather out of place, because the PC is not a Mac, and vice versa. The argument you raised is that having a Chevolet wallpaper is in the same league... which it isn't. This is because a Chevrolet is a car, and desktop wallpapers are for computers. Having a picture of a Chevrolet on your computer is not like having a picture of an Apple laptop on your computer. I'm finding it difficult to explain this any simpler and I only hope you understand what I'm driving at in my explanation. Please re-read my previous comment again and then see what you wrote in response... your argument does not match up to what I have previously stated and it appears as though you are making a bit of a mountain out of a mole hill. Let's leave it at that shall we?

Back in March 2008 someone submitted a picture of an old chevy dashboard with the word "Chevrolet" emblazoned across it. Should the artist have removed it in deference to Ford aficionados? Do Christmas themed submissions offend non-christians? When I'm visiting friends who have a Sony flat panel TV, do I tell them I can't watch the game because my TV at home is a Samsung--no way!! By the way, Myles, what aftershave do you use?

A very unique perspective of how to capture color coming from a computer hardware. We sometimes forget how crucial our displays are and the amazing things they show us...literarily. Thanks for sharing :D

I must say I do think this is a beautiful photo! I think it would also be interesting to have a very soft/dim but directional white light beaming on the back of the laptop. This would allow the viewer to see that back edge of the laptop, but it would also add a cool prism effect where the white light being shone at the back of the LCD screen with , the apple logo is then transformed into a spectrum of colour emitted over the touchpad and keyboard!

Can't most people just photoshop the logo out themselves? Not my style, but pretty creative. I like the lighting.
