Get your Mac some new Desktop backgrounds

I'm sure there are beautiful images at the sites everybody has mentioned, but I've never understood why the desktop image matters to so many people. My screen is always covered with application windows, so I almost never *see* the desktop, or when I do, the background image is fragmented by windows. This is a serious question -- do you folks really see a significant amount of your desktop image a significant amount of the time?

I recently started offering some of my photography as downloadable desktops here:

Enjoy!

http://pixelgirlpresents.com has never let me down when it's time to change up the desktop.

i agree with chris here. interfacelift is hands down the best. i do like the flickr group, but some of those shots while good aren't really suitable for desktops (too busy, etc). also it's damn hard to find higher resolution and widescreen stuff in that flickr pool

someone I know has desktops at http://www.differentlightsolutions.com/pages/backgrounds.html

Devianart wallpapers are actually very cool... You can download many of them, put them in a folder and set them to rotate after a fixed amount of time through system preferences...

I find that deviantart.com has some great content. just browse to the customization -> wallpapers section found here: http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/wallpaper/ .

if you've never browsed through deviantart before, its a great site with tons of user submitted art from wallpaper to prints to application skins to poetry.

I have a similar thing with the desktops, that I can't swithc, but it's that I found this one:

about a year ago and nothing else works. The bright coloring among other things just draws me to it.

That is another good one. It has various resolutions and generally high quality photos. It includes one of my own photos btw :) http://tinyurl.com/ymhdsv
