warm colors aren't a requirement but a nice plus

Here's a darkened sky that I think works. Film grain is yet another positive.

Another thing I don't care for is having the horizon in the shot - 'cause the strong contrast in lighting between the earth and sky is distractingly noticeable through the taskbar

>>6844342 and >>6844354 being exceptions because dim lighting reduces said contrast.

I looked back through your requests and realized a lot of what I posted doesn't fit as well as I thought.

Guess I got overexcited. Sorry 'bout that.

I am bold enough to say that wallpapers are the modern equivalent of buying art and aside from basic rules of aesthetic, its all totally subjective in the end.
