Whoa! When you use the new Session Zero to submit your wall, you wind up having your first post being your "author comments".
Either way, I was looking at this scan after working on about 3 different walls at the same time. These walls include from scratch vectoring of tiny screenshots, so I decided to take a break from that and do a simple wall.
Nearly every element in this wall was found either somewhere on the net or on my computer. The only things that aren't are the sky, the water and the sand. After cleaning up the scan and have to re-cg certain parts of it, I just started grabbing elements and carefully color balancing them. I started with a huge canvass to paint on, worked up the sky, applied that to the water, displacement mapped it then painted the waves and foam in.
I'm actually thinking of renaming it, "unplugged by the sea". Who wouldn't love to be "unplugged" for a day with no cares or worries.

Nice. But i think the cape and the ship looks a bit TOO realistic to me, it looks as if they were photographs.

That is a sweet wall! I love the background and the scan looks amazing! You did a wonderful job on the wall! Thanks for sharing!^_^

The cutting around the scan could be a bit cleaner but it is a nice-looking scan - I love the colours and how it looks like a painting. ^^ I really like the background too especially the birds and the ship! Keep it up. :)

The foreground and the lens-flare-ish effect that you used work pretty well in the context of the wallpaper. The color scheme, while maybe a tad less vivid than I would like, provides good effect granted that the light source is coming from behind the subject.
The seagulls look pretty decent, although maybe a bit overabundant, again, probably just a person preference from me.
The background is very cool. I like the near-photorealism of it; the shore and the ship.
Thank you for this!

Not bad of a wall, and I like the resolution. Maybe the wall should be a little bit less bright, because it currently looks a bit bleached out.

The background is nice, the sea, the sky, the birds, it looks very good. The character is looking good, too, she fits to the background well. Nice wallpaper.

Cute wall, my only beef is it's a bit too smart-blur looking on the scan itself, i just wish that was cleaner less 'painterly' looking. Awesome work on BG though. +fav

Hot chick, lush background, and headphones. What else does men need? This is just a gorgeous piece of work, not overly cluttered, doesn't push much into you. It's just a beautiful scene to look at, and I'm sure I'll be looking at it quite often. You have my approval, and my congratulations.

Ohhhh~ I love the coloring and lighting and layout on this one; VERY well done, almost photographic in it's execution. Though I always will be bugged by the headphones; love the touch, but I can't help but look for something for them to plug into....
