For the Apophysis Challenge, second set of parameters: Song of Flight.

Apart from editing and repositioning, no changes made in Apop. I brightened it up slightly in Paintshop Pro and Photoshop Elements, adding a PSP gradient to the background.

I found this set quite hard - it's a spectacular fractal with an amazing gradient, but I wanted to get away from the circular flower-type (Winged Star and Wandering Star) I'd just made in the first set of parameters, that's probably why. I chased after a red herring by rendering something for days that turned out to be rubbish. So I'm very glad to get this one, which only took 45 minutes to render!
