I'm not sure how else to describe this one either, but there sure is some funky optical illusion going on in the center! Very cool!

I like this, almost like a web towrds the center, nice choice of color also!

Wow Larry! This is so cool! I love the texture and the design - and the colors are beautiful! Love it! Vicky

Very nice! Love the colors and the design.

A very pretty snowflake =D hehehe... beautiful flame, looks like snowflakes, great gradient.. very nicely done Larry

Normally, I feel that the white lines that sometimes appear in fractals like this are distracting, but here, they add a great flourish! A much more interesting image for having them, and it certainly draws you in. I also like that the one "spoke" on the top right is brighter than the others. It keeps the edges of the image alive, instead of receeding into the background. Very nice!

Very nice Larry. I too noticed the unique center for this flame. I like the symmetry and coverage too. I am also enjoying your gradient choices for this. Well done.

Hi Larry. I came across this in the voting gallery and thought it was superb. Just like Jacqueline it reminds me of a snowflake. Excellent work. The colours are very seasonal too. I love it.

This is really cool. Great design! Well done!!

first thought when I saw this: "Wow! This is my new desktop image."

fantastic job, I really like it.
Thanks for sharing.
