Monterey proved no match for Catalina, who won 54.8% of the votes. Then in the Conference Finals, Catalina faced an unlikely contender, macOS Monterey, which started the competition as the 7th seed but had risen through the ranks as the true underdog of the bracket.
In Round II, Catalina faced another crowd favourite, Mojave, and squeaked out a narrow victory with 51.8% of the votes. In the first round, it handily beat OS X El Capitan by a nearly 20-point margin (59.2% to 40.8%). Big Sur was the 5th most voted on wallpaper, but that quickly dropped to 7th for Monterey and 10th (least popular) for Ventura.Īnd there you have it after 44 days of competition, 1,230 votes were cast in the final round of The Great macOS Wallpaper Bracket to determine which wallpaper, Lion or Catalina, would take the top prize as the greatest macOS wallpaper of all time.Īnd the winner, with a 51.5% share of the votes (633), is macOS Catalina! OS X 10.7 Lion was defeated in a narrow margin, earning 597 votes, or just 36 votes fewer than Catalina.Ĭatalina's Path to Victory began by receiving 86.9% favorability amongst voters as one of the top eight California wallpapers. I was also startled to see Apple's abstract wallpapers not only far from being the most popular but also that their popularity dropped with each successive iteration. macOS 13 (Ventura) received 556 votes (68%)Īgain I was surprised to see so many people show their support for Apple's landscape wallpapers, with the notable exception of people throwing particular shade at High Sierra's wallpaper (9th place). Here are the results of the polling, ranked from most to least popular:ġ. They know that they are re-creating / imitating what is already been done, but as a project for themselves, and more importantly, to do things as friends and share a common interest.Eight hundred eighteen respondents answered the survey. I think you're also kind of missing the point of this exercise. I know for myself, I'll sometimes use an existing scene as a reference (say, something like that of what's shown above or one of the great grand landscapes that has been shot to death) as a starting point, but will then work from there to get my own unique compositions. I'm sure the images they created are similar, but I"m sure they also have some that are unique to them or their trip. But at the same time, this also challenges people to see things differently too. There are many a few photographers that truely can create something unique (such as Bryan Peterson) that very few people have done. Pretty much everything everyone does these days in photography is a recreation (in some fashion) of something someone else has done before.
