This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.
While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.
I like the simplicity of this paper and teh way that everything blurs/fades away into the background. The colours are pleasing. The ghost like effect and the colours used give this paper an elegent / gentle feel, hence the name of the title.
Nice concept and design, also very nice work on the colours. But is that Yuuki? xD When i first saw the thumbnail I was like: wth, what is that? After seeing the categry I realized that the white stripes belong to Yuuki's hair haha, interesting idea btw. O:
psst, are we already allowed to submit the wallpaper?
I really admire your text work, simple but nice. It seems like you're on the edge of light-sky-blue there and an inspiring portrayal of summer solstice.

Looks like the hair is the main part of your wallpaper. The one-colored monochrome style and the added text makes a interesting artistic piece from it.
This contest looks like a big event. But I pass rather :P

It'd be nice if you'd link your reference image, because I'm not making heads or tails of it either. It's hair, and a window frame. I've also made an assumption about an ear. :D
Barring the composition of the scene, the colors look nice.
Nice flow of colors, it really works how her hair and the moonlight coming from the window shows and emphasizes on her. Really nice work, love it. Fave+
Absolutely brilliant work on the hair, and very good choice of colours. Overall if you look at it, it's quite a simple, wallpaper, but it looks spectacular and radiates a feeling of sadness. I'm fave-ing this, keep up the great work! :D Well done!
Well, I really didn't know who (or what) is on the wallpaper, but after reading description I could see Yuuki ^^. The wall itself is really interesting and unique, everything seem so luminous and ethereal. Gentleness, I think it's a good word :)

I LOVE this series!
Entry made for the Summer 2008 Pool Party event. The theme was Summer Solstice, and my task was to wall in monochrome (sky blue).
More res @ Dragonrain!
Edit: Concept & Original Scan
Warning!! SPOILER!!!
...
Read on...
The wall is based on the scene when Yuki first changed into a vampire and glimpsed sunlight (and as a vampire, it hurt +_+).
Link to original scan: clicky
Hope that clears stuff up :). Thanks for all the comments!!
