Nice! Very crisp, good work. Personally I don't like flat black so I won't be using it as a background, but in this case I do think it is the most appropriate choice; I don't have any suggestions for alternatives.

thanks Samatar-- yeah a lot of people feel that way about black I think, myself included generally, but i made an exception here. i can see doing more of these in other colors; i think for this scheme, only black worked. i can see some where a blue background, or a white, would serve best.

but is that really any better, to have so much space? does there need to be more going on? i don't want to lose the focus on the shape.

This is one of the most elegant and striking images I've seen...and black is my preferred background for a desktop, so it's no wonder I really love what you've done here. Kudos!

Although in a glossy magazine this would be great, for me the black on the desktop just shows up all the grubby fingerprints (on the monitor glass) from my anklebiters! Despite this drawback for me personally, I too am drawn to these sort of sophisticated abstract images. Well done.

thx all for the comments-- mum42, i didn't ever think about black being bad for that reason, i have a flat screen it doesnt show those things much lol; maybe you can use it to reveal where to clean it haha

mary-- i'm glad you think its striking... i think that's what ill title the next one

Striking. It looks like smiling lips to me.

:-D
I love the number of things people have seen in this, including lips, hair, and a bird.

I love this. Very simplistic and classy. I like the black background and I see lips.

I quite like dark images so i think using a lot of black is no problems. & with this, it balances out just fine...very slick nice work : )

Actually it looks like a lamp, the kind with a genie inside...

Simple and complexe... characteristics of the best images

10/10: It reminds me of fire. I love fire, so it stuck out at me. Also, I love black (and dark grey) as background colors. I don't like really bright screens so mostly my backgrounds are darker images or black or grey. This would definitely go up on my computer. Good work.

i do like simple images a lot of the time, and i do them quite a bit myself. this turned out beautifully. keep up the good work.

Simple, yet very effective. Great stuff

Yes very nice image, although i think it's kinda empty... aspecially when you have a large monitor it's a lot of black you're looking at. Maybe you could do three in a row from these or something, i don't know, maybe that would make it too busy... at least the colours are nice :c)

This image rocks.

simple and bold. cool.

well, my wallpaper problems are solved (for the time being).

Very nice work
maybe you should try green and blue

love the colors, love the design, love it alll!

As with many of the other comments, I do enjoy the simplicity

This is really cool. Its simple and has great colors. and O_o has a point, maybe if you did more than one slash, it would fill up the empty space and look really cool.
