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.

That link was not even funny! Why would you even watch it, "too many times"?

To me it just seems like another Terragen image. I've seen them so many times and very few seem to impress me anymore and therein lies the answer.
A good landscape image, Terragen or otherwise, is one that you can tell from your first look that a lot time and effort has been put into it. It is creative and made not by relying on what the software randomly generates, but on what, primarily, comes out of your head and then can push the software to do to get the result you're after. This not only means you create a great image but that you come up with more innovative ways to create more images which in turn will stand out from the rest, creating your own niche in the wallpaper image arena.
It's the creative process in your head that matters, not the one in the software.
** End of Rant **

You shouldn't take the rejection in a bad way. The admins are very use to seeing rendered landscapes, and even real landscapes. Try to get your work good enough to get pass them. Then, you will know that you have passed the critics who know about the program. Once you get pass them, I am sure we will all be in amazement at your work.
Personally, I won't judge your work. It has already been judged.

Wallpapers...
I generally just pass by any that looks like a photo. Well, because if I want a photo I'll just go over to webshots and get one that was done by a professional.
Here, I like ones that are created and make me go ummmm....
or make me go brzzz....
or make me go ack thppt...

| #20 by DesignCaddy - 3/11/2004 3:42:12 PM 4) It doesn't work great as a wallpaper, especially since the majority uses white icons and prefer non-blinding bright wallpapers. bad assumption, lass..if all moderation were done based on what you felt the community wanted (or by what download numbers showed, as that would have to be what you're basing on) you'd be screwing the rest of the world out of having an alternative choice. 'n that just 'aint fair. |
Don't really know how to react to "lass"...but that is a different topic.
Anyway. Re-read the post. Notice the "(in order)" ? Do you notice where #4 is? Can we assume that it was the last reason why it was rejected after the other ones already were a reason for it?
And, no, there is no "assumption" about it. The most downloaded wallpapers are dark. Most people also use white icons and a resolution of 1024x768. Most people on this site also use XP. I don't "assume". I go by statistics. Yes, there will be people who don't fit that profile, but they won't fit in "most". And, I didn't say that it wouldn't work as a wallpaper, I said that it wouldn't work "great" as a wallpaper. Combined that with the 3 more annoying issues, and it got rejected. Is that a bit clearer?

(Off topic, but I just wanted to disagree with China♥Cat and say that I found the link from GreatSilverWyrm very funny...laugh out loud funny. I love that kind of pointless sillyness)
