A stray black cat's contribution to Les's Apophysis Challenge. It bounced in at the black of night and bounced over everything including the keyboards. With some misgivings, I left my Winged Star rendering overnight. While I was dreaming in bed, the cat opened up the mutations panel and created a new fractal.

All I did with it was change the gradient then bring out its detail in Photoshop Elements.

He's gone home now, but he doesn't live too far away. I can't help hoping he'll come roaming back to create some more wallpaper art.

But you do lovely work, Bonnie; nothing naff about it at all. Thanks, though - the cat would be over the moon. :-).

Hi!
I really love the central focus of the yellow. I love the detail and the colors! Nice job!

Cool. :o)

Well, hot really. (<--- Just kidding. :oP)

That is one talented cat. (<--- More kidding. :oP)

That silliness of mine aside ... another very nice expansive flame Tootles.

Curious though ... thinking here, if you could achieve some additional depth with a contrast adjustment in Photoshop Elements. (Which is what I believe you have?)

Annnd ... as a trial for yourself, not sure exactly which transform ... it should be either the first (red) or second (yellow) ... add in a rectangle variation with a value between .02 and lower, even as far as .005. Your flame here might be a good candidate for that.

Quite appropriate for this time of year in my mind. Warm and a bit ghostly too. Hallowe'en -ish to me.

Nice work. :o)

Thanks - I'll give it a go! My PC is still rendering away, but it says it will be finished in 43 minutes 29 seconds. (Drums fingers).

PS: The talented cat never came back to see how his work was received.
