hello, first of all, i think for a wallpaper design alot of things can work. i think what you have created is intresting. it is very nonobjective so that is a style that is used alot for wallpapers. the thing i would say that it is lacking is balance.
you have objects all over the place. the top left and right hand corner, the bottum left and three floating objects left of center. then you have text in the middle aswell. i think you could make all this work with better placment. the balance is off so its unconfortable to look at. i think i like it alot better if i ignore the grey objects. then it has anice flow from left to right, leading the eye. with the grey objects it disrupts that and makes the eye jump all over the place. also i dont think you need the text. it stands out and looking almost like a watermark rather than part of the image.
i think you could balance this more so that it is more successful

the colors are there, i like the cool blue with the aqua type blue and white. its very "flowy" i fill almost like its underwater with the way you have the white almost shining down through the picture.
keep it up and if you change anything please post what you have changed

here are just a few ideas on how yo maybe better balance the peice using different types of symetry

BIAXIAL SYMMETRY
SYMMETRY (boring)
Radial symmetry
ASYMMETRY (my fav)

thats better. you have the radial symmetry thing going on. it looks better. but with radial symmetry it gets rather mundane. but yes your are headed in the right directing. what does it look like without the grey things?
