WOW... Lauren this is a beauty... the soft delicate look with a bold 3D centre is amazing... you chose the perfect colour for both the image and the background.. I love it...
Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you.
You remember the great fire from 1979 that supposedly started in your garage where that chipmunk ingested some fertilizer and fell into a can of kerosene, instantly turning into a flying little fluffy little molotov cocktail that set a blaze leveling the whole neighborhood west of Newton's Hardware Store?
Don't tell me it's good, tell me what is good about it. Don't tell me it stinks, tell me what I can do do improve it. Thank you for taking the time to tell me anything at all. Be blessed. anne :-)
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

Hi Lauren, this image is amazing of course, but especially for the beautifully conducted expression of colors and the fascinating center of intrigue! You have slected the most beautifully soft exterior colors, and for the center, vivid colors that blend well to form superior artistic design! Simply, no, never simply done, I will reserve those words for further images of yours, but for now, I see that opposites seem to join forces to express a whopper of and image, and I bet you will win, I will keep my fingers crossed! Enjoy the beautiful fall showing! Sincerely, Marilyn
Picture Purrrfect .
A purrrfect world is what we all want, but, seems too unobtainable. If I've viewed and commented on your post, and you liked my remarks then NO THANKS is needed...just getting to see your wonderful work is thanks enough for me!!
Also BIG thanks to all who check out my work!! I appreciate any and all comments & feedback!!
Truely outstanding work, Lauren! The colors and design really says, Autumn, and you have chosen the perfect title. This is going on my desktop right now! Good luck :)
I have yet to figure out how to render a fractal with good results, using a background other than black.

The depth is excellent in your piece here. The central part of the flame does indeed rise up from the gentle eddies of the visual breeze and it's leafy counterparts that you so successfully convey with this flame.
Another ... very, very strong element for a minimalist gallery, methinks. And no, not minimal in quality nor beauty ... but, so sosphisticated in it's pure beauty and art and simplicity.
You just had to know that when you saw this one ... that it worked ... and work well it does. Beautiful.
All of earth is crammed with heaven And every bush aflame with God But only those who see take off their shoes. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning<p>

I saw it in the featured images on the front page and was attracted to it. This is a divine design, delicate and outerworldly. I love the 3D centre. A most impressive entrey. The judges of the contest will have their work cut out for them, from the quality I have seen so far in different entries. :)
I’m really impressed by this one. It’s a peculiar mix of delicate tones with a touch of spicy bold colour. The result is very attractive indeed. It’s an almost exotic effect and I find it very pleasing.
