Update..

Thanks for the suggestion JunBug119.
I love it.
Now I feel like the 2-3 month wait until I get my iMac won't be as hard. :p
I think it looks pretty Macish for being a PC.
And I used all free downloadable things.
Let me know what you all think.
Oh, and this is a windows background, so I don't have it to upload.
Sorry.

Remove the spaces between the groups and download some icons from interfacelift, pixelgirlpresents, or deviantart. Also, do a search for "stacks docklet for windows" and you'll find a stack docklet that work like the leopards stacks docklet e.g. http://www.jcxp.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=25586 :D

Mine. Just a standard leopard with a modified themed dock and different scroll bars (iTunes like grey).
 
Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway screenshot from March. Great photo with a black dock and icons.

edesignuk, I haven't seen the film(and won't be)and I'm not a fan of either visible or ultra-long docks(I know, I'm a picky bugger)and yet, even with that in mind, your desktop is quite possibly the best I've yet seen. It is simply & purely, a magnificently striking visual treat. It just works; the balance between the dock, the wide expanse of black with that face in the centre, and the three icons top left, together create something special. Sometimes on this thread one experiences the desktop-as-art. I don't mean that to sound poncy, just that I think a lot of us that spend serious time on our desktops(and post 'em here)see them as a little piece of usable art that we have created. Something like that anyway!

Crikey! Erm...thanks! :) Certainly didn't put a lot of thought in to it, but I like it.
