I don't know much about fractals Carissa but I really like the coloring on this one. Welcome to Caedes and I look forward to viewing more of your work.
The colours are rather dull.
On a dark background you are supposed to use bright colours as it (the dark background) appears to absorb the brightness some what.
Carissa, don't listen to Ian..lol..He's one of my dearest friends, but I think your gamma is just fine in this, or it wouldn't look this wonderful! You're doing an excellent job in learning about these fractals and I've looked at just about all your works, and I love them! Good job!
