Every once in awhile, I have this horrible urge to create. I woke up at 4 AM this morning with the urge - this is the result. I hope you enjoy it. In this one, I faded silver into gold for an interesting effect. Also, do you see the heart the fractal makes around the jewel?

Mr. Smith ... your creative urge must have had a life force of it's own, as does the finished piece that you present to us.

Fading the silver into gold ... I really like how the reflected light source strikes on the two areas of silver. Something that, in my humble opinion, I hope you incorporate in some future works again as it finishes the overall composition extremely well with that delicate touch and element. Makes the metal work truly outstanding.

And speaking of light sources ... the perfect density of brightness. That facet alone is a testament to your skills.

I love this creation of yours. Speaks to me, it does. The heart, with the right degree of visual subtleness, is a perfect addition to this very uplifting work of cgi imagery.

Uhm ... best stop here, before I tax our site's server's storage capacities.

I have an alternate title in mind, not a suggestion ... it just happens to sum up your offering here for me ... often used, but most appropriate ... serendipitous.

Serendipitous, in that this is just the thing I needed to view today. It is beautiful ... and full of lightness and rather profound to me in some ways.

Makes me smile. And for that, I thank you for sharing this one with us. :o)

+favs was an aforethought.

Beautiful colors. I am never into fractals that much, but your pictures are truly stunning.
