I'm not sure I'd personally use this as a desktop - I prefer darker and/or more colourful images generally - but I like it as an image in its own right. It reminds me of rubbings done with charcoal or pencil, though this is much, much finer than any I ever saw done in school and it really is the detail which makes this stand out.
I am honoured to be listed as a friend or to see an image of mine as a favourite, but I keep lists of neither. This helps me appreciate images uploaded by strangers as well as friends. Please understand that a failure to reciprocate in kind indicates a lack of appreciation for neither gesture nor work.
Another nice one...and I definitely will put this on my desktop. I like my desktops to reflect my moods or whatever computer tasks facing me. No offense...but this one looks perfect for balancing my checkbook! Complicated, spiral, definitive data, and (with luck) a clear and satisfactory end! Thanks!
