Artist's Note

VS: Grounded (aMADme) (slightly modified by me)
Wall: Shades of Grey (PasiFist)
Photo: Blue Sight (let-it-di) (sliced-and-diced by me)
Icons: Jet Black (Scott_Evo) (recolored by me), Ruler Adium (Ultraman) (recolored by me)
Rainlendar: (by me)

I realize that this is not a great leap from my last submission but I had a few specific objectives: 1) to make the background and open windows simpler, more monochromatic to further highlight the photograph, 2) to add depth to the shot, both by increasing the apparent lift of the photo off the wall and by giving the impression of penetration into the wall with the miranda and rainlendar icons and, 3) to create the impression that the miranda and rainlendar text are part of the wall, rubbed into it rather than sitting on the surface. I'd love to know if I managed to accomplish any of that and if it was...well, worth accomplishing.
