My first thought was a Peacock out of control. Like your work on this one. Thanks.

so why don't my Apop images look like this! I expect I have to be a mathematician to create these images! lol! I like EJ's thoughts on the image - a mad peacock! - yes that is what it is!

I like spirals. People underrate them, I think - almost as if "once you've seen one spiral, you've seen them all" which is a bit like saying, "once you've seen one sunset, you've seen them all". (Maybe spirals should get their own sub-category...)

This wouldn't be my favourite spiral, but I still like it. It has a wonderfully complex featheriness to it, a sense of fluffy fullness. This is a spiral that looks as if it should be shaken out regularly - a bit like a duvet - to maintain its plumpness.

This is odd because usually, if anything, flames look grainier in full view than thumbnail, but this one looks grainy in thumbnail and cleans up beautifully in full view. Neat trick, actually...

Lovely thing and aptly named. I love spirals by the way, and am enjoying how the petals seem blown by the wind. Warm colours and beautiful work. :)

Well, this is lovely! The blues and the oranges seem to be getting along quite well and they pop in this image. Maybe you two ( you & apop) should get some counseling! LOL

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Great spiral, John! I especially like the color combination. It reminds me of the Aztecs, with it's feathery appeal. Well done my friend :)

Wow, what an awesome creation. Reminds me of an Indian chief's headdress. I love the colors and the way it all spirals around.
