Nice job creating this.. I like it. :D

I'll start by saying I like the fractal a lot. Apophysis can come up with some truely beautiful stuff, so well done on that front. And I really like the way that you have positioned it in one corner - it adds interest to the picture (and allows you to make use of a smaller resoultion render?). Top marks all round.

ha, I just found this image in your gallery and I must commend on the placement of the flame: gives it a bit of a mysterious feel. And the fading of the blue; it makes the black look more black somehow. nice.
