I'm disappointed with default wallpapers in the latest releases. I
wonder if we could go back to more artistic images from previous
releases? Here are some of my favorite ones:

Especially the one in Fedora 15 (GNOME edition) and 16 was
outstanding. Can we do more of those, please?
I love both the design and concept of the F25-F28 wallpapers.

alphabet and come up with a list of scientists / mathematicians /
technologists to serve as an inspiration for the desktop background’s
visual concept"

I am sad we haven't followed the pattern. (However I don't know the
reasoning for stopping that.)

IMHO, A desktop background serves a different purpose than a login/lock
screen. A desktop background shouldn't be distracting, high contrast, or
busy. Making beautiful art with those restrictions is quite difficult.
The fedora backgrounds tend to grow on me over time, but I also tend to
immediately just set my desktop background to straight black, with a
dark theme (breeze dark variation) and reserve the fedora art for the
screen lock.
The login/lock screen, should be looking for maximum impact. Its after
all what people see as they walk by a fedora machine. In that regard
something like the F7 image really wins.
So maybe this is a case of trying to answer to conflicting requirements.
Maximum art, high contrast login screen, more soothing muted desktop
backgrounds.
Anyway, i'm going to spread some love to another distro in this thread
too. The Opensuse 12.3 theme/background was one of the few times I've
left the default background on for any length of time. They seemed to
have pulled off just the right amount of mostly non distracting
background, yet somehow managed to still achieve that minimalist beauty
everyone seems to be in search of these days. Its all gray tones, with a
single green vine/logo. It fit with the theme in a way that made me
think, now this is what a linux desktop should look and behave like.
