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 think the most important thing you accomplished is getting the same feel we all get watching ARIA: calm air, cool waters, and a sense of longingness to be there. Nice." View

"Contrary to what some have said, I don't mind the grainy texture on the face. Leaving it out might create a sense of seperation (dimention) between figure and background. I'd use it on a rainy day (7 months from now). <Adding to collection>." View
"I think Orihime looks really sexy and mature in this one. Now where's her ipod, and why isn't it on billboards on a street near you." View

"I'm not usually the type that has cute, adorable anime characters on my desktop. I think I'll make an exception with this one. The comments before me probably already covered what I like about it, but one thing I really like is I know what scene in the anime the picture of Orihime came from." View

"Since I like Silent Hill so much, I see visual similarities. The Silent Hill-ness is there, but a little more subtle and suggestive. It doesn't hurt that the pitch black on the sides is a good place to place desktop icons, although I'm tempted to just delete them all so the desktop maintains the aesthetic feel of the wallpaper.

"I really can't describe this very well. One one hand it had a postmodern feel, but the mono-tone on the otherhand takes this back to the 20's ragtime/bebop era. Having what looks like the the Manhattan skyline adds to that too." View
