Description Edit: ~libidules asked my permission to use this image for a wallpaper design. I just love what she did! Take a look:

After a special request, I reworked Painter's Corner to give it a golden look.

I wonder which of the two you like best!

The texture applied to the vase is by tExTuReMaTtIc

The shells next to it are by TammySue

The texture applied to the wall is by lunartex

The flowers are by carinaD-stock

My thanks as always to the stock artists for their beautiful material.

Talk about collaberation and teamwork. n.n
Though, if you want some advice, I'd recommend a frame of some sort... it'll give it that final classical touch to compliment everything else in this.
And the black splotches in the background look almost like a mistake? O.O' They kind of draw your eye away from the vase in some way of disgust.

... You really did awesome with this.

Ok, I really appreciate your comment, because I usually enable the "Advanced Critique" option and rarely get it . I'll try to answer your points.

I'm almost totally against frames. Not always but almost. The image should be enough in itself, if it's not, if it needs the enhancement of a frame to be more attractive, it's not good enough. Obviously, this image may not be good enough, I can accept that, but I would try to improve it and not to enhance it with "outside" resources.

About the stains. They seem to draw your eye away "in some sort of disgust". This is a strong way of putting it but... great! It wasn't my intention but I like the idea. Life is like this too. You seem to have a perfect situation and suddenly it's blemished by unexpected, ugly details or events. I repeat, it wasn't my intention in this case. I tried to create a chaotic -though artistic (?)- background and the stains seemed to fit in.

Hey, it's been really interesting reading your comment and answering it. Thanks!

I like both, but this one definitely has a softer and more harmonious feel than the other. Very nice indeed.

There is now a 1280 x 956 image, it looks fine on my 19-inch monitor. I hope it's useful
