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.
You're failure has turned into a success. I think putting all 5 characters in front of the billboard wouldn't do much to improve it. I mean, for fans who have read the manga and watched the anime, this has a lot of deep meaning in relations to the series itself. The title is just perfect. There has been many far & distance soft feelings between these two characters, even if Takemoto is the supposed main male for Hagu.
So don't say this wallpaper is bad. It may be simple, but it is extremely well represented to the series." View

THAT'S RIGHT...the server went dead like 5 minutes ago.
Few things needs fixing. Inoue and Hitsuguya's text are not aligned with the photo like the others. There are still white scan lines from the extraction job you did. Polly lasso tool would be your best friend when it comes to this. The shadowing should've been sharp since it's from direct light. The shadow effect you did only make the photos look more like pieces of blocks." View

"Actually, after playing around with this image making Chii's (or Freya's) hair blonde (not really that difficult), I found out that the blonde hair would attract too much attention to the eyes.
So I take back what I said and applaud Crapmonster for deciding to use a darker hair color." View

"This is simply great. Brings back fond memories when I first watched the series in 2000-2001. It's plain, yes, but having lots of detail is overrated it. It's not how busy the wallpaper that makes it look good, it's how the overall feel and design of the wallpaper that makes it a great one.
If you take requests, can you make a revision with yellow hair instead of dark blue hair? =P" View

"Like everyone says, there's a conflict of matchings between the scan and the background. If there were a much more effect on the scenery, then it would've matched. But you also have to consider that the background has to relate to the anime nowadays considering the amount of skill and creativity as well as standard in anime wallpapers." View

"It's a cool concept, but you might have gone a bit overboard with the texturing. Also, you need to make the text stand out a bit more, and try saving the wall at a higher quality level next time (I can see a lot of pixelation, especially around the text)." View
