I want your opinion and I want to know why this was rejected...
Wednesday, March 10, 2004 by Asphyxiation | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
This is my wallpaper that I submitted.
I don't know how to reach an admin.
Tell me if I should at least contact one... Or keep trying. I feel like this is better than some of the other ones that I'm seeing on the Wallpaper shots.
I'm posting this here cause I want opinions.

Don't rely on programs etc to make you a wall, rely on whats in your imagination.

DesignCaddy....the problem with images such as this is their commonality. With over One Million members, each capable of uploading/submitting walls, etc you will be guaranteed to receive slightly more than one extremely similar wall.
Now, as a wall 'collection' should we be obliged to retain/accept all permutations of a 'simple snowscape' [whatever] or just perhaps one or two of the 'first' of them?
Same goes with chrome balls and other basic objects floating over water, etc. [first one of those that caught my eye was done by Dangeruss years ago...[even he was learning once]]...
When it comes to landscapes the best chance for success [non-moderation] is to use imagination....perhaps a fictional scene....alien landscape perhaps, though most generated scenes are rejected for 'errors' such as unnaturally sharp shorelines - fake looking water, etc....

It looks more like powdered sugar than snow... Snow will pile up, drift and have wildly varrying depths with rocks sticking out completely uncovered. I spend at least a week every year on Mt Shasta, sometimes in the winter when there is snow everywhere like in your image. I've never seen it look like this though.
It reminds me of powdered sugar donuts. I happen to love those kind of donuts so I have a better impression of your wallpaper for that. Looks like heaven
This is similar to a lot of the "water" landscapes that have no shoreline and no shallow depth where the water meets the land. No waves or eddys that give the nature version its complexity. Your brain will reject a landscape that doesn't have these subtleties just as much as it would be baffled by a perfectly symetrical landscape.
btw - I didn't moderate this one but I did moderate one of your others and we had what I thought was a pleasant conversation by email about it. I'm confused by your statement that you don't know how to contact an admin as you contacted me from the letter I had sent you.

i'd never attack the system which is moderated-above all else-volentarily and say 'you should do this or that'. but to counter you jafo, what if the least downlaoded ones were d r o p e d out to favor a new one? it may be the same thing to some people but at least it changes, and with that movement it would only get better. but that would only be a suggestion if it could be done automatically.. no one should have to sift through and swap wallpapers all day and i'm not in the position to recommend how things are run. 'tis just a thought.
i think the thing that irks me the most is the inconsistancy in what i see get through and what does not, mainly with the non functional ones when something that works perfectly well is labeled 'non functional'. it seems if one person doesnt like it, someone simply has to upload again and run the chance someone else will let it through.
but again, i understand how things can get monotemous. (sp?) i just think in this case we had a perfectly good wall that got the shaft because of its forefathers
aw well. i'm done
_end of line
blah. what's the string to do an em dash?

BTW.....'monotonous'.....

(that would be my guess at least, I can't read admins minds...at least not yet...*evil laughter*)
