[ubuntu-art] new Ubuntu member freelance professional photographer

[Daniel Pullan]

Hey man, I tried using this as a background and found it didn't quite fit
my screensize. Also, it's quite a busy picture, very attention grabbing,
I'm sure some people will agree it might not be suited to being a
background picture.

In the ubuntu design guidelines there is:

"Avoid high frequency images. ( A soft focus is one way to achieve this )"

"As the name suggests, visually, it should settle into the “background” of
the activity scene"

"Your image should strive for subtlety and poetry".

I don't feel this image adheres to that. Also,

"The final dimension should be 2560 x 1600 pixels".

This image is 3648x2736, as you can see the dimension is wrong, I'm sure
this is nothing a well done crop would fix (Gimp works for this).

Overall, I don't think this picture works, however it's a great first
attempt and I'm sure you can either attempt to fix this image or try using
a different photo you've taken.

Away from the background side of things, it's a cool picture, I love the
blues of the water, very nice.
