Les, You always know how to really bring out the beauty of these renders. Splendid work here, you did a super job on the tweaking.
=^..^=tigs♥

Thanks, Sandi.

Appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

:o)

diggin it!

Oh my gosh! Someone has blown up the gumball machine! LOL. I love the bright and bold colors in this. Excellent work.

Stunning!

I was falling asleep, but this woke me up! A splash of colour and sudden focus... very nice.

"Stunning!"

"Excellent work."

"diggin it!"

"... very nice."


Ok then, more 'organic' fractals.. think I got it now..

:oP


Thank you Cappy D, Jim, Constance and Tootles. Appreciate you taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts. :o)

I'm thinking 'pool party'! A creative & colorful render, Les!

I'm thinking..


** !! CANONNBALL !! **


Thanks, Sherree.

Nice to 'see' you. :o)

Cool! It makes a great background. It certainly has self similarity which is a property of fractals. However, I don't know what is meant by an "organic" fractal.

"However, I don't know what is meant by an "organic" fractal."

My phrasing, Lightpainter.

Lil' more 'abstract' (= 'organic') than my usual stuff, simply put.

And..


Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Appreciate the kind appraisal and you taking the time. :o)

Great work Les. Those colourful balls - are they stars and planets being sucked in by the "black hole". Lovely colours and creation.

Thanks, Raj.

Stars? Planets?

Sure.. why not?


Appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. :o)

Maybe too organic... it just tried to bite me. Just kidding. It reminds me, in a fanciful, fractal way, of sea foam and seaweed. Things don't get much more organic than that...

Crap.. that is the colour palette I should have gone with, tried.. and.. just might in a future incarnation.

Thanks for the idea, Mary.. and thanks for sharing your thoughts. :o)

Amazing fuckin image.. Depth of field makes fractals really cool.

Danke, sir.

Appreciate the.. 'kind' .. words. ;o)

Just too cool for words - Diggin' It! A true keeper!!!

Thanks, Laura.

And.. right back atcha.. for:

"Bouquet For Friday" and "Gulls in Motion" ... to name but two from your galleries.

You have a good good eye for composition, images are well-focused, natural colours.. good good stuff.


Thanks, again. :o)

Since you're deconstructing every comment, here's my take on it.

The close, intertwined weave of filaments could be anything from fungi to textiles. Their ambiguous nature draws the viewer in for more clues and this builds interest in the puzzle. And I especially liked the addition of a plane of focus, giving us a false cue that it was shot through a lens and that this an actual object. Was that POF added post work or rendered from the start? It's a wonderful deception. Your color palette is terrific too, and gives the image punch and a light, festive air. It's a colorful and intricate masterpiece.

Thank you, Russ.

Really appreciate your 'deconstruction' and sharing your thoughts. Insofar as; "Was that POF added post work or rendered from the start?"

The newer versions of Apophysis do have "Depth Blur" as a functionality now to mimic 'a DOF effect'.. however, I did not employ it.

Rather that of the variation plugin, "Blur".. and then manipulating the transform itself to achieve the same visual effect (more or less.. I had hoped).

So.. rendered from the start, simply put.


Thanks again, I do appreciate it very much. :o)

I'll be honest here les, i know nothing about fractals, the software that makes them ect.. not sure my comments would even matter to an artist of them... but i do know what my eyes like. the blur placement? seems to suck you in and then once in? your twisted & twirled among all kinds of shapes of different sizes immersing you in all kinds of color. fun ride for the eyeballs and a great DT..fav

You just might know more about fractals than you think, Chris.

'Cause.. in the end.. regardless of medium/genre ... it still comes down to the basics of what makes a good good image. Composition, visual weight, balance, et al.


Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Appreciate it very much. :o)

I know NOTHING about fractals...except so many look gorggeous and I haven't a clue how it is done..lol. Nice one, Les!

Hi Les, I'm going to borrow your beautiful organic fractal`to go with one of my poems. Of course if it ever sees the light of day you will be the first to know... ;-)
