My Official Windows 7 Theme Pack – Raptors

A few weeks ago, a friend (Tim Bolton) pinged me to let me know that Microsoft had started inviting members of the community to submit photos for Windows 7 wallpapers.  And if you were lucky enough, all of your submissions could be used as a theme.  I spent a few hours selecting and preparing some photos.

A few days later I got an email to let me know that over a thousand people had entered photos and I was “the very first person” contacted with an acceptance.  Woohoo!

Jennifer Shepherd posted more details on the program and the other lucky entrants on Thursday on the Windows Experience blog.

My theme is available to download.  In it you’ll find pictures of various birds of prey: Merlin, Barn Owl, Peregrine Falcon, Osprey (taking a trout), Short-Eared Owl, Red Kite, Little Owl, and a Long-Eared Owl.
