By the way, when was this picture sent to Corbis, and that Microsoft bought the rights to the picture during the development of Windows Vista?

This picture was originally made by a DeviantArt user known as "americanpsycho" back in December 2002.
It was inspired byΒ Bliss, the default desktop background of Windows XP.
Some people used this picture as their desktop background for their Windows XP, Longhorn, Vista Beta, and Vista computers.

Looks very nice. This is what I would love to see around the world... clean and clear. Very creative. Makes it very soothing to see on my computer while I'm at work.

OMG did microsoft NZ use it in their "Energy Blue" Theme Pack?

Yeah. Go figure. I emailed them but got no reply. I cc'd DevArt but they aren't interested in pursuing rips by people on other sites.

Well, it looks like the Bliss Wallpaper of the downloadable theme by Microsoft. So, I don't know if it's good or not as it lacks originality. Sorry

I should try stealing artwork. After all I have no talent.
Meanwhile, if the link to this pic ever goes down you can always find another "copy" here--->>

Now that is very interesting. You will note that the upload date on this deviation is Jan 24, 2003. If you download the 'theme' from microsoft you will see that the modification date on the wall is June 29, 2004 - a year and a half after I uploaded this wall.
So now. What do I do? Some fucker at microsoft has clearly ripped this image! However, as far as I am concerned americanpsycho is the true injured party here since his image is the original on which this is based.
Frankly, I'm lost for words.

If Microsoft truly stole your work, you'd be rather well off by now (or you will be when your lawsuit/settlement is complete.....).

I love it. Right now I'm cruising through these pictures and I think...At least we have imaginations to make the world look beautiful. If I could create my own, this would be a place to go. Yes, there is beauty left in this world, but so much has been killed and covered with what society thinks is beautiful. You have to look for it these days if you want to see it. Great job!

A little too much on the blur on the far grass and clouds, not a true transition, didnt blend well.

Wow - the scenery is wonderful!
I don't like how you smudged the middle though

Did the Windows XP Media Center theme happen to use thi s exact one, or, was it submitted from that theme? Its identical from what my (untrained eyes) can tell.

It looks identical to me --->> [link]

That's kick-ass! Shame it's not 1280x1024 and I would use it.

It looks like you went mad with the smudge tool in the middle of this picture, it is not exactly a great photoshop job, the only reason it looks semi decent is because youused such a wonderful source image.

This is a good wallpaper, the grass is great, but the only problem I see is the sky. The sky looks a little too blotchy, doesn't look correct. If You can make the sky just a little more smoother looking, then I think it would do the wallpaper a whole lot of good.
