Very nice, I like the soft, muted blue and aqua. It's also very cool that you have a whole ring of what appears to be fish in the outer ring. Very whimsical, but very cool!..=]
Very nice use of sharp vs blurry to create a distinct focal point. The pattern doesn't really add a whole lot for me- but I really like the colors, and the cropping of the image. Very well done.
Well .. it certainly says .. Hey! .. Look at me! ..
Personally, I would like to see it sharper and more defined in the middle area, but if you didn't soften it then sharpening it probably won't bring definition where none existed before.
I'm not usually big on fractals....but I do like this. I like the colors you used, and the fractal itself almost seems like painted glass...in a good way:) The only thing I can nitpick on is the center, which because of the jump from gradual changing of colors to black seems out of place. I like this alot, thank you for submitting, and great job!
