For the curious, here is Red Moon Desert which, according to TFA, was almost used instead of Bliss but was rejected for looking too much like buttocks: https://windowswallpaper.miraheze.org/wiki/Red_moon_desert

Buttocks aside, it's a nice picture - maybe more elegant then Bliss. But it's a lot less bright and happy. I'm glad they went with Bliss in the end, for whatever reason.

Red Moon Dessert would've clashed with the clown colours XP had going on

It’d’ve been a great background for a red mars inspired alternate theme.

Also the moon would be hidden between the icons, which always aligned on the left side by default.

Appropriately the photographer's name is O'Rear.

(It’s the same photographer as Bliss)

The name didn't help much either, I suppose.
