I really love the shot of the dunes. Any more info you care to share about that shot, would be most welcome. While I like the composition, I keep finding myself wanting to see it without the tree. In my minds eye, the dunes without the tree would shift the sense of loneliness from the tree in dunes, to the the beholder of the dunes (i.e. myself looking at it and imagining being there). I think this would be very emotionally engaging. All just my personal opinion, of course. Any possibility a treeless image that could appear? Also, I hope you understand that this is a compliment re: the dune shot!

Starkly striking, the contrast leaps out at the eye. From the dark tree to the white sand, and on to the azure sky. I have always been able to pick out Macindows pictures because they don't seem natural to my eye. They are still gorgeous to look at, but if it isn't good enough to fool my brain, it doesn't sit comfortably in my background. The only point for improvement? Macindows: work harder to fool me, please! I like your compositions.

You guys remember that old Windows stock dunes wallpaper? Goooood stuff.

@AB Well, why would the webmaster then create the tag name "digital composition"? On the other hand, I've never heard the term "digital composite". I think, both terms mean the very same. But in the end, who really cares? Later we're gonna start counting commas...
-
It's a nice image with excellent post work. Personally, though, I'd prefer it to be much warmer. @Macindows I believe the term you are looking for is "composite," ie. a digital composite. In my experience I have never heard the term "composition" used to refer to different exposures/elements combined into a single image.

great one. though for some reason it looks waaay better on my 16:10 laptop screen than on the 5:4 PC display ,)

Great wallpaper. Just do it that way. Regards to an artist from Belgrade, Serbia :-)

Dearest Neploleppard, I very much understand that you thought, my English was / is weak. It is because neither did you understand the meaning of the word "composition" nor did you fully comprehend the sentence structure. Let me kindly help you understand it. Com·po·si·tion (kmp-zshn) a) The combining of distinct parts or elements to form a whole. b) Arrangement of artistic parts so as to form a unified whole. In that context the verb "create" refers to the noun "composition", which in fact IS an arrangement of photos! If there are ANY further difficulties to understand what I'm saying, please let me know and I'd be happy to help you out, Sir. Kindest regards, Dominic

Wait a minute. People thought me saying "God, I love this website" is immature? Honestly, I used to love to see the comments on IFL, but now it's just become totally lame. From now on, I am going to come here, grab the photos and leave like a leech. So much for trying to be a part of a community. Good riddance.

(I clearly noticed a grammatically typo... it's hard to type with a 7mo old hitting your arm.)

Digitally created and digitally altered are 2 different things. If I created the Mona Lisa, I'd want credit for it. If I took the Mona Lisa and drew a mustache on her with a Sharpie™, then proceeded to alter the hues and remove the background so as to place her in the middle of Toys R Us... that wouldn't be really work my saying I "created" her. I altered her. I, must like everyone else, didn't throw our opinions out there to insult the artist. The artist is insulted because of his weak use of the English language, its grammer, and its definitions.

Macindows, don't ever stop posting here, I find your landscapes very easy to look at and the constructive criticism that follows in the comments sometimes is often very useful as a learning experience for me as an amateur photographer. I always check here for new wallpapers, and often I see rather rough photography pass the loupe these days, so it's a real gem whenever you see a great composition from one of the Interfacelift masters. Keep up the good work :)

@quicksand, The irony of posting a comment about adding a comment filter didn't escape me, nor likely any bright reader, but thanks. It was intended to be half-joke, half-serious tidbit, but I'm flattered with the response.

@igor "My constructive criticism is not cherished here by ignorant majority even though all my points are admired by individuals that have the very least understanding of technical qualities of the photography and many flaws that arise with this medium. " If it's an ignorant majority, then stop commenting here. Make your own website of elite people who conform to your version of intelligence. I also think it is highly arrogant for you to claim that all your points are admired by "competent" individuals. Trust me, almost everyone dislikes your high and mighty critiquing. If you have all the answers, then why are none of your desktops ever on the front page?

@jd554 under the circumstances of this very civil and constructive debate i consider discussing comment filters in five paragraph outright inappropriate and uncalled for. what is this iran? what would be the idea, to filter out comments that don't conform to my opinions? ps: ironically if there was a 'comment filter' then frozenskyscraper's bit would likely be the first one to go, as it's likely of the lowest value in the whole debate. and this is what the admin chose to reply to? with an essay? i don't get it.
