This is really beautiful. I love the gradient. It does look as though it's exploding outward...I can only hope the big bang looked anywhere as good as this. The center, with the purples and magentas, is just luscious. Very nice work.
Love all those reds & that slpash of purple really sets it off ! An explosion of color & movement & energy, alot like a new born Apophysis sun ! Well done !
