My first wallpaper

Took the stock photo myself

What do you think? Any comments or critique would be appreciated.

I also need some help - I took some other photos, but (like the photo I used for the wallpaper) a large majority of the colour in the darker grass got greyed out by the camera. If anyone is willing to restore the colours (if it's possible), the 2 other photos are here: http://cid-c1a4c92e3cafc62f.skydrive.live....e.aspx/Pictures

The coloring is just stunning too!

Gerringong, NSW, Australia. We've got a family house down there (right on the beach!). These hills actually drop off directly into the ocean as cliffs

. Most of the NSW South Coast looks similar to this, all the way from the start of Illawarra Escarpment.

I wasn't actually intending to enhance the colour, though I was forced to due to colour loss in the photo (like I said in the first post). I'm actually pretty pleased with how it turned out

That's cool ^^. Why do the hills in the middle look weird... Like they have mini waves on them

they look like terraces to me, otherwise might be the wind blowing?
awesome photo

Actually, it's natural corrugation caused by rain

Why does this remind me of Windows XP for some reason?

Anyway, nice job! I hope to see more artwork.

Should be the default Wallpaper for windows 7.

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L Pic, realy awesome

. In my Opinion, only thing that could be better would be if there wouldn't be any railings on the Pic but meh...it also looks already damm nice

!

Btw, @Windows 7 default Wallpaper: Actually, this came also in my mind. And Microsoft makes a competition, where you can send in your Pic, and the Winners one will be the official default Windows 7 Wallpaper for Switzerland. Nice, huh

?

Blue-K and UnseenHero: Thanks for the comments

. Nice idea, but I think it's only for photos taken in Switzerland (from the photos that I've seen already)...
