Tiger computer wallpapers/backgrounds?

So having just received a splendid(and quite large @ 24") new LCD monitor at work, I tried to find some nice wallpaper/background images of Tigers to show off. Doesn't seem to be any good ones out there, at least that I can find. They either have large ugly logos on them(I'm looking at you MCN) or are far too small to be useful. Ideally, I'm looking for ones that will fit 1920x1200 resolution, but I realize that may be asking too much and will take anything I can get really.

So, I figured I'd ask here! Does anyone have some nice wallpaper they would be willing to share?

I do have some friends who are brilliant graphic artists who would be willing to help me create some, if I can collect some high-res images. I have a few of my bike that I'm going to have them start with at first, taken with my 7 megapixel point+shoot. Not going to be super top-notch, but I'm planning on gussying up my bike in the spring and have my photographer sister take some nice shots for this purpose with her DSLR. If anyone has some special shots they would like turned into a nice wallpaper, let me know. (Obviously they are doing this as a favor to me, so turnaround time is not guaranteed by any stretch of the imagination)

I'm also curious if a wallpaper section would be worthy of the Photo Album here on tigertriple.com?  8)  It would be cool to have a go-to place to find Tiger related wallpapers, as there doesn't seem to be one on the internets anywhere that I can scare up.

I'm curious to hear others thoughts on this topic!!

Since I ride alone most of the time, my pics either have no bike, or have the bike unmanned--not action shots.  That said, for the time being I've up'ed the size limit on the photo album (see button above)  Maybe I'll make a special album for high res wallpaper pics.

Here is a sample:

Also, I'm moving this to gallery.

Howdy Kenny, the wallpapers in this thread are generally bigger in size, as I'd requested some to fit my 24" LCD computer monitor. Not sure about the size limit on posting pics now, can't speak to that.

But really, these could be resized to any size you want.. Using a webpage even. Save them to your computer then head to http://resizr.lord-lance.com to resize them. (that's just one of many sites that do this)

But, what resolution are you running on your PC? You'll want to know that first. If you're on the Windows you can right click on your desktop and choose Properties. The resolution will be listed on the Settings tab. That's the size you're aiming for when you resize.
