Ok this background stems from the fact that after a few billion years (out of the earth and thus pressure) diamonds revert to plain old boring carbon. So in keeping with my mocking attitude I built a background around the concept. Call me a nerd if you like, but I'll only revel in it.
The diamond was rendered in Lightwave with a quick stop to PS for the fonts and some touch-ups.
Hope you enjoy.

ugly, bulky, looks like something more personal than wallpaperish.

I'm certainly open to criticism but please keep it constructive. I can't learn from the degredation of my image. Now if you tell me what you would think would improve the bulkiness of the image then I would be most receptive.

Why is it only bright at the top... um because that's where I had my light source? I can re-render it, but I'm confused as to what's wrong here exactly. So change the font you mean, yes? If I remove it completely it ends the reason for the image in the first place.

Yup, redo the font, i think it's the blur behind the ttext that's pulling it down
Quite cool, the wall is a bit, um okish, but that fact that they turn back into Carbon is quite cool

I'd prefer a small shiney diamond in the middle, even better if you can get it on a white background, that will be gr8, nice and simple yet priceless.
it looks like a diamond only in shape, its more of a crystal.

yes add some refractive light on it or something. The text just takes away from the whole image. If you notice us Neo's are not fans of text
