Saw this is thumbnail and even before title, I did think of a ghastly face screaming! haha
This is extremely excellent! Love the color tones...and just everything! Yowza!

Superior flame Dave!! Great placement and the gradient couldn't be better!!

Spooky but nice. Excellent render on this post.

Awesome flame Dave. I really like the design and color, but you need to back off on the gamma so you don't get so much graininess. Aside from that it's excellent. Keep on playing with it...=)

Very creepy. I though at first -- 'nice fractal' .. but then the face!!

I like the face. The whole image is nice with the swirls and layerd look (how do i explain the "layered look?"), however, maybe try increasing the render quality even though it will take a lot longer, that will get rid of the grain. But im new to using apophysis...like 1 day old.

It's a real shame about the graininess, because this is one superior flame ! It totally rocks ! You can DL PhotoFiltre for free & it does alot of neat & cool stuff, I have it as well as PS & I've been very happy with it. Love your image, & your title is so apt ! But give PhotoFiltre a try, I bet you'll be very happy with it.

Thanks for all the comments everyone!! After all the talk of the grainy look, I've re-rendered this one. You can find it here: Scream 2 (New & Improved). Thanks again! ;)
