** THE TREE IS GROWING ON A SLOPE! THAT'S ONLY THE TOP 3/4 OF THE TREE YOU'RE SEEING! >_< **

*sigh* Alright, this is for crapmonster’s The Planning Board HOWLing Project : Round 1 "Butcher The Song"… And indeed I did butcher the song…

While listening to “Down in the River to Pray” from the ‘Oh Brother Where Art Thou’ OST, I had a sort of serene, camera panning a scenery sort of feel. Given that the song kept singing about the river, it was sort of a no brainer. Having never watched the movie or committed myself into any sort of faith, my motivation was the song’s strange effect on me to keep playing it over and over again.

Time: 2 weeks on and off Layers: 70+ Scan: Randomly chosen/found in AP’s random scan selection. (woot!) Best part of it: The shiny text. -_-

Notice the front is blurry and the back is not. Yeah, as I said earlier I had a camera panning a scenery idea in mind so I intentionally focused on the character at back. Never seen the anime either by the way so the reason I walled Haibane Renmei was because of the halos and wings… Acta sanctorum means Acts of the Saints and Est autem fides credere quod nondum vides means Faith is to believe what you do not see.

I abused the stocks from imageafter.com and sxc.hu. Um yeah, why did it take so long and contain so many layers? Probably because I’m such a noob and couldn’t figure out a way to do this in less than 20. Mostly for the background’s 50 or so layers… Yay for crappy default grass brush. -_- Yeah… Comments, Criticism, Flying Tomatoes, or Candy appreciated.

Beautiful wallpaper *_*! The scan is nice and pretty and goes extremely well with the background (even if it´s a photo). The colours are so soft and warm.... really nice work. The three is the only thing I want to complain... I think it´s branch souldn´t come in front of the girl... Because the three seems to be pretty far away... I think. Great and peaceful wallpaper... Good shining effect in the text ;D

The sunset is to die for, I really love it, not to mention the text which is probably the first thing that captures your eyes to this wall. yay for default grass brush xD because i liked how it came out. Excellent wall Pheonix. <3

It's really a serene wall and the background is so beautiful. I love how the lighting blends in with the colors. It gives the wall a warm atmosphere. And you're right, the text is the best part since the BG is an abused stock photo. But then, it still looks good.

nice design - looks amazing overall but the scans look a tiny bit out of place- perhaps it's the cropping? anyway, love the colors!

*hiding the tomatoes* Well, this wall look better on the Full Size i must say, the work with the background is good, but maybe it can be better if you add more grass, the best part besides the great blend of the scan is the text. Great job

Oh yeah I really like this wall. So cool and I like how it is blurry on bottom and not on top and it does show focus on the character in the back. The background and it's colors look great. Well great job!

very nice wall, the bg is nice and the colour are also very nice... the only thing i think should be change is that the chara. back should not have the tree in front of her.. because it seems like she is very big and the tree is very small.. i don't know if you whanted it like that but ya... and i have to say that the stock photo you have choosen is very nice :) just keep the good work and very nice wall ;)

The idea behind this is interesting and the desing concept is beautiful. <3 The only thing that looks odd is Rakka. She looks slightly out of place. :/ Other than that minor complaint everything looks amazing. ::thumbs up::

I rate this as an average wallpaper. The front was a bit blurry than the back. The orange and black combination really blended into together and formed a new piece of work. The ideal theme is to make a more of a darker type wallpaper so it might be best to darken the sunset and the text a bit. The texture and shadow concept was nicely done. Keep the work and effort up!

Haha I didn't really have anything to say about the tree at the top of the hill...

but I do have to say that I love the effects you did on the grass! Looks beautifully realistic, golden, and just enough light and shadow to make it mysterious <3.

Nice wallpaper! I like the colours you used, and the layout. It invokes a very melancholic feeling. I like the font you chose too. One thing though, if you meant the foreground to be blurred maybe you could make the background a little (just a teeny bit) more vibrant in colour? I like the sun and grass too. Okay, the last comment was random but hey. ^^

The image looks beautiful, and other than the placement of Rakka it is just great.

Everything is nice and all but Hikari's face is a little distorted and it feels weird for some reason....
