In every device it's a photo I took and different from the wallpaper. They're both edited to match a color theme, usually grayscale+one more color (currently orange). The photos are usually of buildings, flowers or cats but right now I have a combo of a bicycle for lock screen and building for wallpaper.

I love nature images for my lock screens. I chose the jellyfish because they are so pretty and colourful, they look stunning in photographs.
My lock screen is just my wallpaper, which I can't post one screenshot of because my phone cycles through 175 of them. You definitely could tell a lot about me based on that alone, and also based on what wallpapers I have and in what order they're in
An extremely zoomed in picture of my wife's legs in fishnet in blue light. If you don't look long it just looks abstract.
Raphaelesque Head Exploding by Salvador Dali
It's a picture of my daughter being cute (note: she's always cute).
A copper still I made from an old boiler while test running it. Was a nice hobby pre covid, I should pick it up again.
A woman and child running from me in nature.
Some dark space scene. The clock sits perfectly so I've kept it.
Home screen is a grouchy can with a cup of coffee tho!
Just some brass.
Bocchi-chan and the Tuvix ep of TGG playing, lol
I just picked a default wallpaper with a dark to grey color palette and made it both my wallpaper and lock screen. Wanted something easy on the eyes.

A silly picture of me with my cat

It's a geometric pattern my son and I crayoned onto the white paper table covering while waiting for our pizza.
A random mountain that was in the default selection, since years.
some random theme i found
Random every hour from a Wallpaper Engine playlist.
I use the Samsung rotating lock screen, with pictures set to landscapes, desserts, and animals.
Get about a dozen pics of each that change every 2 weeks or so. About a month ago there were a bunch of pictures of tropical fish that were all labeled "Swan", which was way funnier to me than it should have been.
I just use the default iOS 18 wallpaper and lock screen - no changes, no extra widgets.
