Mostly cuz it looks nice, but not all images do you know. Just a few are able to be used as a wallpaper. Take my "no title :)" for example, I myself wouldn't use it as a wallpaper, but as an avatar or something, it is way too ugly when u view in :D
Yes, it shows real creativity and can have amazing results.
Some of it can look awful, depending no what you are trying to do, so you have to be careful hehe
I only make simple wallpapers etc, mostly I take photos.

I should probably just keep my mouth shut on this subject, but can't. I like some fractal art, but most just leaves me cold -- some squiggly lines on a black background with a title like "The Destruction Of All Time/Space." Huh? I don't get it. Half the time when I get requested to comment on fractals, I have to pass, because I just can't think of anything positive to write. Okay, you fractal lovers, blast away! Here I stand, camera in hand!:-)
^ same. im a computer guy... but only a few fractals ever seem worthwhile to me.... but hey.. to each his own. i prefer digitally enhanced photographs.
