Looks amazing, like a flower made of a splattering of paint. Looks great, and for a first job, it is fabulous. Great job!

For a first time try it's not too bad. The gradient is bright & colorful & it has a lot of movement. Your biggest problem that I can see is grain. All those little specks of color all over the place ? One way to get rid of grain is after you've rendered the image, pop open an editing program, if you have one. I have PhotoShop, but there's also Irfanview, The GIMP, Paint Shop Pro, Neat Image & several others.

Sorry, I kept trying to be all efficient & link you there but apparently I haven't had enough caffeine today. :( Anyway... open your editing program & find a noise reduction filter & hit that, that should help. You can also open Apophysis up & go to Options & then find your gamma setting & lower your gamma & see if that works. Okay ?
Good luck with Apophysis, I think you're going to enjoy it !

The colors you have used in this picture are so bright and really catch your eye. It’s very whimsical and lighthearted. I really enjoyed viewing this and it will make a great desk top…Thanks for sharing!
