| Home-made fencing desktop backgrounds
OK - we can get professionally-made fencing desktop backgrounds at several web sites. Has anyone made their own, featuring themselves, their friends, or their club? I'd love to check them out.
Here's mine, made from some photos I did for our club brochure. That's my coach on the right and his daughter on the left.

If you want to use it yourself, get a 1024 X 768 version here: http://billwoodward.linkbrokers.com/...ge1024x768.jpg

| it's not really a great bg, but a decent pic which I used as a desktop bg for a while.
here's the 1024x768 version: http://www.members.lycos.co.uk/tilma...en/fechtbg.jpg
EDIT:
To comment you pic: I like it actually and I'm sure it will be great for a brochure, yet you can see quite clearly that the Fencers torso was cut out quite poorly when you view it at 1024x768 with the computer. It probably won't make a difference on paper, which makes it to a great picture for that purpouse.
I'll post another wallpaper soon of actual fencing actions too...

The choice is up to you
