Hey guys! Here's my first wallpaper as promised.

Unfortunately though the main pic was actually bigger than that it is kinda blurry.

Enjoy!

Wow! I really like the texture you used! Looks like vintage wallpaper, or something. What's the text in the corner? I can't read enough of it to make out what it is. And isn't the font for her name "Bleeding Cowboy"? I would never have thought about using that font for Anna, but it looks wonderful!

Thanks so much guys. Yeah, the text is Bleeding Cowboys. The text in the corner is the lyrics from Superchick's song One Girl Revolution, which ironically I haven't even heard. (Well maybe in a movie, but I'm not sure!)

Thank you both for your comments, they are highly appreciated and I'm glad you like it.

That's really pretty H.M.!!

My favorite part of it is the design (with the line separating the two images)! The textures are lovely, the images you used are beautiful, and I also really like the font you chose to use for her name!

Now, my only CC is that I personally would have put the tiny text underneath her name, instead of on top of the smaller picture of Anna. Your current placement isn't bad (not at all!), but there's some blank space in the middle that you could have filled with the tiny text.
That's just my personal opinion though, and I do still like it where it is. :)

Overall, this is an excellent piece of art, and you have every reason to be proud of it!

Excellent work!

Thanks for that flambeau. That is a good idea, it does look like it needs something there, however I wonder if it might be a bit distracting. But I may redo it with some text there from the pack you posted for me. :)

Nice wp HM Swanwhite, especially for your first go round. Text works well with your choice of imagery: in context, font, layout, and coloration. The overall layout looks good, with the off center division between the two images, but I'm not sure on the far right image. Conceptually, it makes sense and works well on sizing and shot angle, but I think it's a bit odd in matchup with the first image (it's almost like the closeup image of Anna is looking at the back of her own head). Perhaps it's just me, but it just seems odd to me to have a rear facing image here. The textural overlay with the floral/leafy pattern looks good and adds a nice design touch. I agree with flambeau on the placement of body text. What you have right now works, though it might be nice to see some more overlap as some of the text already covers both images. Nice work , keep it up.

Wow! :-o That looks great! This is your first wallpaper? I like the textures and fonts you used. Do you use Picnik? Because I use Picnik for my graphics and I recognize those fonts... Keep up the good work!

P.S. Mind if I use this for my background? :)

I love it! The two pictures together are fabulous, and so is you use of textures (though I may have removed the floral stuff from Anna's skin in the foreground-- it just looks a tiny bit off). The text effect in the lower right-hand corner is simply awesome.
