That's a photo of El Capitan, included with Mac OSX El Capitan as a desktop background. I think most of the readers on designernews.co know a desktop background has nothing to do with the branding of Mollie.
Well, first of all thanks for the complement. What I learned is that context is a really important part of design. So I want to put the merchant in something that's placed in perspective. Our dashboard is a web app, so when you put it in context it's a browser on top of a wallpaper. I get it when you don't like the wallpaper but I think that's flavour. I hope that I answered your question correctly.
That makes total sense. Well thought out, Giel!
No, I like the wallpaper - I just didn't see the context. You explained it to me, now I understand it - thanks :)

Nice. But why did you put that mockup of the website on an image of a starry sky in the mountains? I don't understand it. I was looking for the mountains on your website, but I didn't find them anywhere, so they are apparently also not part of the branding. Why that image then?
