Wallpapers

Okay, on Monday, I made a Dan/Casey wallpaper for [livejournal.com profile] celli. It turned out too dark (I've since learned that pictures look brighter/higher contrast when I'm working on them in PhotoshopCS, so I need to factor that in). I've played with a few different effects on the texture layers and came up with four different lighter versions.

The original:


Version 1:


Version 2:


Version 3:


Version 4:


So, which do you prefer as a wallpaper? Which do you prefer just as a graphic? Is there a difference between the two, and if so, what do you look for in a wallpaper vs. a manip?
