I had a chance to spend some time with upcoming Windows 7 OS. And because I am wallpaper maniac :-) the default wallpaper (this one - View from Arstechnica website) was most interesting to me. I decided to fire up Photoshop and try to draw better wallpaper. I changed the fish (because my favorite is clown-fish), made wallpaper darker (I thought it was uncomfortably light), tweaked light source and reflections. I'm not sure if it turned out better, but here is the result!

Beautiful work! I love your artistic genius!

How good would it have been for Windows 7 to have included some of Vlad's wallpapers? At least my Windows 7 desktop will have Vlad's wallpaper and not the usual sterile slop from MS.
Excellent work by the way!

I quite dislike it. The fish seems a bit too... fat. And the texture looks more like brushed metal than scales.
But anyway, that's good work, eh ;).

What a coincidence. I just installed the Windows 7 Beta. Now I have the perfect replacement for the default wallpaper!

Wow, my favourite fish from the Finding Nemo movie on my desktop by my favourite wallpaper designer. 8-) Lovely as usual. ;-)

What about creating a series of wallpapers/clocks of this kind featuring different kinds of fish?

I like this one better. The beta fish seemed kind of drab and lifeless, and you're right, it did seem too light. Your wallpaper is much more vibrant!

Justin Murray: I am not offended at all!
Karl: I took your comment into consideration and made slight changes - fish is not so fat anymore, and background is not looking like metal. Thanks!

You are my favourite wallpaper maker, Ubuntu is my favourite operating system. Please, can you make some wallpaper(s) with ubuntu theme?

Its amazing how M$ is copy-cating Linux look-and-feel even more release after release.
would love to see an Ubuntu themed wallpaper.
And a cow themed one! ;-)
Keep up the good work Vlad!

I think clown-fish fits better. Original wallpaper looks so.. so.. blurry (water is blue, fish is blue, I think it doesn't look good). Another wonderful work :) Thank you!

Maybe your should go apply at microsoft as wallpaper maker.. the guy they currently have for the job isn't doing as good as you ;)

To me, the fish looks out of place. Some more shading maybe? Translucency? A blue sheen, reflecting the color of the water?

I like your clownfish, he can come over and play with the ones we have in our tank, maybe your next wallpaper you can give him a few clownfish pals and a nice sea anemone?

Well done Vlad! Did you come to Oz (Australia) after your trip to Kiwiland (N.Z.)? Clown fish lives in our Great Barrier Reef. Thanks a million.

So, is this a subtle suggestion that Windows 7 (or Microsoft) is/are clown(s)?

Con su permiso, en mi blog (http://kjellc30.blogspot.com) he puesto un post diciendo lo mucho que me gustan tus fondos de pantalla. Espero que no sea molestia. He puesto un enlace, a ver si algun amigo pone este fondo que es tan bonito.

Просто изумительная картинка. Как и все остальные на вашем сайте. Простые чистые линии. Покой и умиротворение. Ваши обои радуют глаз, но не отвлекают от основной работы слишком навязчивыми деталями. Ставлю на рабочие столы своих компьютеров исключительно ваши работы еще с 2013 года и еще ни разу не пожалел. Спасибо!
