Great technical control over the transforms. And a wonderfully clean render. This one could easily get away from you, methinks ... in terms of the colours and contrasts.
Expertly handled.
And but of course, thank you for sharing this one with us. Say 'hi' to grandma for me.

Superb coloring to the piece pal!! I haven't popped (Apop'd), in a while...kinda miss it!! Perhaps when the weather turns super duper HOTT and I can't be a girly foofy flora shooter I'll get back into it?!?!
I love your title...and your very wise mother is so right!! We must count our blessings everyday...and strive to live in a state of graditude...no matter how hard it may seem to do at times... I try hard to practice this...but when times get really tough...and when it seems to be most difficult...that is exactly the time when we must....in my opinion... ;o)
This is why I love the title John...I love the way you think...I have a sense about this...even though we are strangers...it is a nice thing to learn about a person...the way he/she thinks...this seemed evident to me during my child loss...and I thank you...;o) It is a little like running when I don't feel like it...that is when I must...Lol!
Back to the image...I can feel the blessing beaming directly towards me from the lighted center...you realize by now...I am unable to critique a fractal professionally so....the color is very lovely too...However I am still remembering the beautiful turquoise on a previous image...dramatic it was... indeed!
Your mother is right, you have to count them every day! This is a very beautiful fractal. I love the subtle colors and the fading rays. Wonderful! +favs
