Lol, i hate being the first to comment, i usually wait, but ok. It's ok. I think it looks too line like...like my fractals. Keep rendering more and more, practice makes perfect.

I like the wispy swirls but the two lines coming from the top are distracting and the lighting is a bit too dim for my taste. More power to you for even tackling Apophosis..I've tried a couple of times and was frustated. Keep posting, would love to see your future renders.

Hey Ryan ~
Nicely done in an abstract kinda way. Busy but not overly so. could use more color ...but I too sometimes have problems with getting color into mine. Maybe some clarity or contrast would bring out more hilites...Thanks for posting ..
