It's alright I guess. The gray needs some work though. Remember that it is not just about Photoshop effects, it is about design.

I dont get it, what exactly can I improve? Do you mean the shade of grey?

Just set as your wallpaper and center it, Windows will automatically down-sample the image.

What I mean is that the whole "get a few photos, turn them, add border and shadow, set on gray/black background" thing is old. If you want to make an impact spice it up a bit.

It took me all of two minutes to do this:

The point being is that something simple can improve your overall design. Of course this background is not perfect, but I could do something better by spending a little time on it.

Thanks for that. I didnt really think it was that good, i just saw the collage option in picasa and wanted to do something similar. Thanks for the tip, it might come in handy.

Simple is good. Your example would suck as background, my eyes hurt already in few seconds watching at it. Too much contrast and saturation. I vote for grey images/smilies/smile.gif

It works perfectly fine on my 1680x1050 display...

It jigsaws diagonal lines because of bad downsampling... Its fine with simple vertical and horizontal lines, off course...

Wow, judging from the thread title I was guessing it was going to be wallpaper sized pictures of Alok.
