....Another Apophysis formula ultimately brought me to leaves, manipulated to fit the screen and to bring out details in Photoshop. Feedback welcome.

Beautiful is the word to describe this! Did you make the formula? They looks so nice! And they have a nice texture! 10/10 and into favs! I have to admit, I do like that new program that you use but its nice to see you are still sticking with Apophysis!

I don't think you could get any closer to leaves than this. This is really good Wendy. Love the colors and the black background sets them off very well.

Thanks Andrew and BJ. Nope, Andrew, I started with one of the formulas in Apophysis....truth is, I don't recall which one. LOL! I save mutations of formulas that I make under different names in "My Flames" file. All I can tell you is that the original formula looked NOTHING like leaves. <G> I worked and reworked this one many times to get it to appear as much like the real thing as possible. Glad you like it!

I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings: And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill. That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes. We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not. Yet so the universe was wrought . Thought is another name for fate. Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.

The colors in Smiles from God were carefully selected from a wide array of possible color gradients in Apophysis. Glad you like the colors I settled on, Ron.

Thanks all for your nice comments!

WOW! They look like leaves, the closest I got to anything looking real were little flowers which I don't really like, but I like this, great job and I like the gradient you chose, you didn't pick one with colors that would normally be found on real leaves, I like that. Great job!
