The look of the sky is incredible and choosing of the building as the focal point of this background is remarkable. This wallpaper looks stunning on every desktop.

The colors of this awesome Vista theme really are the main attractions. I love the mixture of grey, navy and black to create a one of a kind creation. The taskbar looks sharp and the icons at the top of the desktop look even sharper. Even all the buttons look cool with the denim-like wallpaper in the back. Great job.
