I was thinking more along the lines of simplified vector version (i.e.
not photographic background), but generally yes, this is what I had in
mind. You can think of the steampunk one as if you'd like to carve these
buildings on a gold plate or something like that. Does that sound sane
to you?

I'm really sorry for what i'm about to say... but you should consider the options that are in the way now; and the time for the round 1 is over. Besides, Fedora is for a lot of countries, and I don't think it could be a good idea make the art based on a location.

I didn't intend to make new proposal, but rather suggest to take the
release name into account in Round 2. Work with it *inside* the options
that are in the "game". If people are okay with it and willing to
implement it, then it's cool, if not, then it's OK as well. The most
important thing is the final result. We received lot of positive *and*
negative feedback on the sulphuric waves during last release and as a
result we changed it to something better on the last minute, but I don't
feel like if it was dead end. It was also quite well accepted in the
Alpha/Beta/Gamma...err...Final release banners ;-)

And I also feel that Cambridge has more artistic potential than
sulphur ;-)

Yeah, something like that. If it was intended for the final wallpaper
I'd however add some more steampunk effects, make the contrast a lot
less (the way it is now is nice, but too distractive) and perhaps use
only the building(s). Also the level of detail could be IMHO even less.

This is also CC-BY-SA. Also an OK license.

IMHO, no. I've enjoyed the creativity of the art team much more than
what realism provides

Your opinion is as valid as the next, personally I see nothing wrong
with the "cambridge". As most non-ukwestern users will not mattercare
know where it is. I would suggest though thet the church be taken out.

You can pick an element that is associated with that location and make it through illustration, abstractions. Themes from round 1 can still be used and adapted, all of them are mockup. That is where creativity is coming to rescue. =)
