Nice.

Very nice.

Is this an example of the fan variation? Bit brain dead at the moment, and can't sort out the versions in me head. :oP

Just taking a closer look ... curious, what would think about (if a possibility) of lowering the whole flame in your frame?

May be personal compositional preferences ... artistic licence ... whatever ... my personal humble opinion is that a better balance compositionally and visually would be to introduce more of the lighter sections of the left and the right in particular ... portions of your flame here. More so, to bring down the 'holes'.

I think I see your wanting to showcase the dominant fan here. Just a thought.

That aside ... quite intricate here your own self. Really liking the interlacing/interweaving you got going on.

Yeah ... good work. Thanks for sharing your creative efforts.

p.s. I know ... Apophysis does that to you, doesn't it? And it never fails ... that when I should be doing something else ... but, instead I am perusing a random batch?

All the good ones come of the program then in those moments. :oP

I think the one before said enough...... I am not really up on this stuff....so...yeah .......what he said...lol.

this is a great image and great use of apophysis the colours realy work well picture

I like the colours,like it all generally.It's also decorative but like .theevilpenguin I'm not into that stuff.

I think this one has a lot of intricate detail that is hard to see. I understand that the dark background brings drama and so I suppose you made a choice between an emotional impact with the flames themselves vs a slower, more "intellectual" response to the intricate patterns. For myself, I feel frustrated because there is interest here and I can't see it. Others will prefer the dramatic impact that you have going on.
