Andy and I are currently collecting a variety of wallpapers for each category. We're picking ones that demonstrate artistic depth and have good technical quality.

I like several of those as art pieces but as wallpapers I’m not sure they will work. In this task there doesn’t seem to be any mention of scanned artwork either, so I think we should focus of photographic images instead. I appreciate your culling efforts though.

All I'm saying is that it may (hard emphasis on may) be worth investing in these wallpapers if they'll be around for a while.

Perhaps if we absolutely decide one a specific image we can source the RAW file from the original creator. This would be ideal as I could edit the image with far more granularity.
