   The image is great, I was looking for a wallpaper that paid tribute to Steve Jobs as well as having a nice texture to the background. I prefer darker desktops so I edited this slightly for myself. I've got rid of the Adidas and have made it darker. I have also added the words "stay young...stay foolish"..I have posted this on my deviantart profile (link below) and have credited your original. But please let me know if you want me to take it down. Thanks http://hardz10.deviantart.com/art/Tribute-to-Steve-Jobs-262511405

   Good job at creating this. I see that you made the logo silhouette idea your own. I kind of like the original creator's positioning of his head pointed down more like he's solemnly thinking, but yours fits the actual contour of the apple logo more. However I would have nudged the head down one or 2 more pixels to make it fit the apple logo even more. The Adidas impression is a little distracting but someone could clone it out easy enough it they really wanted to remove it. I also love the balance of the shoe prints you've made. The shadowed corners look bigger on the top and I would have made them more equal with the bottom but it works and I have a few of these now to remember Steve. Just trying to give constructive criticism... Thanks Steve! And thanks for another good tribute image ManoLLo! =)

   I was just looking for a desktop image that had something to do with Steve Jobs after I wrote my own tribute, I love the "face of Steve" within the apple, it's becoming iconic. RIP Steve Jobs http://failedexe.com/2011/10/06/steve-jobs-passes-away/

   Thank you guys! I like the grey to! I Have also a colored wallpaper. Like the oldsschool Apple-Logo. But personally I like this one even more. Ooh FU**! I first saw a picture: Steves head in front of a really big illuminated Apple Logo. Probably taken at a keynote. After a while of watching it, this Steve-Apple-Logo came into my mind. Si I searched for a good side-view of Steve, produced my own silhouet and merged it with the apple logo. It was the day he died. I thought I should share it. So if J. Mak Long is the "original designer" ... who am I? :) But I must confess: He did it way better, than i did! I searched his graphic right now (http://www.google.de/imgres?imgurl=http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqhr46trpa1qz9917o1_500.png&imgrefurl=http://jmak.tumblr.com/&usg=__XGVG_bag3JA1dufuANlX6KGC8JA=&h=500&w=500&sz=6&hl=de&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=b_KUM4gxmXrriM:&tbnh=175&tbnw=162&ei=iJuRTtSGMYvVsgahmlg&prev=/search%3Fq%3DJ.%2BMak%2BLong%26hl%3Dde%26sa%3DX%26biw%3D1156%26bih%3D926%26tbm%3Disch%26prmd%3Dimvnsb&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=309&page=1&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:8,s:0&tx=56&ty=60) You're right! I should have taken another backplate, instead of adidas. I will correct this! Either retouch it or take another plate. BTW: I used this texture (http://www.highresolutiontextures.com/4-hi-res-footprints-textures). Really nice.

   I like the gritty, grey theme and overall composition. Agreed on the prior "adidas" comment. Also, probably should give the original designer (J. Mak Long) credit on the Apple/Steve logo tribute.

   Nice improvement from a simple image. I would use this as my wallpaper, but I think "adidas" on the lower left part of the image is out of place. It would be great if someone could remove it.
