Half-Life 2 Strider Wallpaper!

[Scudded]

I made a wallpaper for myself, so I thought it could be a good idea to share it too. It's basically a cropped HL2 screenshot where the strider is focus of the picture. Everything around it is blurred.

Two versions, here's the blue one I'm using:

Yep, it's just a cropped screenshot with some effects applied on it, sharpened the strider and blurred around it, and a few other small tweaks.

Weird. The shallow depth of field makes this look like a model, like something you'd see on a model trainset.
