We still have a wallpaper section? 
LOL
Indeed the quality on the wallpapers has drop a bit. Hopefully more original and better work will start to flow in.

The heart of the matter is this is a skinning site, not an art site (according to the admins); and though I can't find any sort of line between the two, this site's main line theme is skinning Windows applications. Walls are a bonus, even though they advertise best walls on the net. I have been lucky to have a couple accepted, but the ones that I believe are my best, are usually rejected. So I went to Deviant Art where I can tell by downloads and comments what walls people like and don't like. If you want a greater (as in quantity) selection, ceasar999, go to Deviant Art. This Gallery at WC is great, but moderated not always for quality, sometimes for uniqueness or style.

I definitly agree with sleeping dragon.
What I think is my best work gets rejected too.
I think they like having a whole different variety of wallpapers.

The never-ending issue with the wallpaper section here at WC is (and will always be) the way people get 'stuck' in a particular style thus creating a monotony which makes the section boring and very easy for moderators to reject.
Back when I joined WC, every other wall was about the Windows flag, then it was the infamous trend of the Bryce orb over a water plane, then it was the distorted torus and mirror style, then came terragen renders, Apophysis tried to muscle it way around but fell behind and last but not least, the always popular glass orb/sphere style, which in my opinion it's a crowd pleaser when the quality and details are good. Of course all of these fall short to the classic *Britney and Dolphins walls.
I think more walls would be accepted if the authors were to break away from the common styles and start to show more innovation.
-Just my opinion-
BTW RPGFX, the Carbon Arachnia is looking good, the background texture and the brick red color could use some improvement

That one has to rank among the top classic along with Jafo's 'Trapped in Bryce'
