All you see is pure Fireworks power, all vectors and symbols and live effects!
This amazing work was created by Lucian Dragomir, a talented Fireworks designer, and has won the 1st place in a recent Adobe Fireworks contest, run by FWZone and Adobe.
If you’re curious, you can download the original and de-construct it in Fireworks:

There were some other very good contributions in that contest, too — take a look at the other winners:
…but 1st place is really my favourite!
And it also perfectly shows that the creative possibilities with Fireworks are almost endless! (Some time ago, I have shown a few other good Fireworks examples here:-)
Finally, if you sometimes wonder, is Fireworks better than Photoshop (for screen/Web/UI design), wonder no more! :)))
Hey, thanks a lot for the kind words and for featuring me.
I had a great time competing and I congratulate all the designers. I hope to see you all next year.
@Lucian:
Your work is very good! :-)
I am a big fan of Fireworks, I am using this amazing program for 5+ years now, and I always enjoy seeing Fireworks pushed to its limits — like in your wallpaper!
