What with all the exciting new Dawn Treader trailer caps... I had to make a wallpaper from one of my favorite scenes in the trailer... the Magician's Book!

It's super simple... and I'm not sure I entirely like the way it turned out. So, I'm turning to you guys! Comments and constructive criticism would be loved! What do you like? And not so like? Should I add something? I value your input! Thanks! :)

Beautiful!!!! I love it! It looks like an amazing quality; I would have never guessed screencap if I didn't know. Great sharpening effect, or clarity, or whatever you did to make it all clean and seamless. Nice lighting, text, and texture! You have it all centered very well, so good layout overall. Did you do something to brighten or color her eyes? I think it turned out very well!! Great work!! You should use more of the screencaps, because you have a definite nack for this!

I like it Dekkie! Especially since I was planning on making a background of the exact same theme... :D I LOVE your text! The fonts you chose and it's placement is fabulous!!

The flourish behind the text though is a little distracting... The red color just tries to pop out from behind the text in my opinion. Maybe a grey color instead? And slightly transparent?

The texture on her face seems odd to me too. Like, the lines that flicker across an old TV. Though I love it everywhere else, I almost thought at first it wasn't supposed to be there.

Overall though, I really like it! And I really, really like the size you made it in... It's so hard to find wallpapers that are 1366x768! lol
Great job!

Follower of Aslan, :-o Someone actually used a wallie I made?! Oh my goodness! Reading that definitely made my morning yesterday! Actually the screencaps were surprisingly high quality, I thought, though I did do some blurring and sharpening and textures and such. As for her eyes, I sharpened them a little and did something else... I played with this thing for a while so it was probably just a combination of different things. Thanks for all your encouraging words!

Lady Courage, Thanks for the comments/critiques! Good thoughts about the brush behind the text... I'd not thought of that... I like the color but perhaps it doesn't work too well... I'll do some experimenting! And the texture on her face, I'm not a fan of it either, I tried to erase it, but it messed up the lighting... I might try to fix that another way though if I get to playing with it again. As for the size, I just got a new laptop with those dimensions, so I'll probably make any future ones in that size as well! Plus, I like the additional width it gives!

greenbird37, Thank you! I've had trouble making wallies that I think are clear enough, so it's great to be complimented on my clarity!

NothinButNarina, Thanks! I'm in love with those two fonts... they are probably my favorites and I love to use them together!

Great job! It's very pretty, yet simplistic. The fonts go well together and the brush is lovely and the colour of it works well. :D :) My only CC is that her face looks a bit speckled. Lovely colouring as well. And may I ask what the top font is, please? :)

Wow Lady Courage! that is perfectly awesome! I love the colour. It's perfectly touched the way you heightened it, or whatever you call it! =)

Make that two somebodies. ;)) I just added it to my collection. :D
I like it although I agree that the texture on the face isn't the best.
