(Main) Abstract->Fractal
It must have been a magical night, that wondrous eve so long ago. I wonder if heaven's glory unwrapped like a beautiful fractal - who knows? I wish I could have been there to see it. Have a merry Christmas - all my friends at Caedes! An unlimited-time commercial right to create scarves from this image has been purchased by the STDiamond Company in the Ukraine.

Hey Nathan, I really like the concept in this one. I seem to prefer these colors over the lighter pastel colors. I think the graininess takes away from the image, but overall I like the composition.

Thank you! I agree on the graininess, that's the Chaoscope flame I layered in there. You'll notice there's no graininess in the other sections where there's no flame. Wish I could figure out how to get a flame that's not grainy.

Great job on this fractal though! :) Nicely done and after rendering you should increase the contrast to get some grain out :) Great job again Nathan! def one for my favorites :D

Oh man, this was featured on the caedes homepage when I got online, and I must say, it definately caught my eye. I'm not usually a huge fan of fractals, but this is wonderful,and I can't find a single fault with it. I love the colors, and the sort of whispyness(not sure if that's a word)of it. This goes straight to my desktop...thank you very much for submitting.

To have heard the angels voices and to see the Star Over Bethlehem would have been awesome, I wish I would have been there too. It is a great image, I love the colors it is one of my favorites.

All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king. - JRR Tolkien (The Fellowship of the Ring)
This is a fabulous abstract. Lovely work from you and the colors are brilliant and work well with this. Good job from you.

Tierazon, Fractality, and Chaoscope (free downloads) to make the fractals. Photoshop to blend them together. Thank you.
