Although very basic, it does look like a crown...cool!! For an overall Apop design it just doesn't work for me. Are you using Apop 2.03c? I'd play around, as this flame I'm sure has potential. Keep'em coming Kevin, would luv to see more!!
I rather like this. I don't know Apop at all so I can't say whether it has (more) "potential" or not, but I think it is a nice, delicate fractal as it stands. It looks rather ethereal - a crown for a fairy king, perhaps. (I don't know why, but it looks like the crown of a fairy king rather than a fairy queen if you go by the stereotypes in the stories!)
