Now cruel, do you need to get ugly with me? Let me say it one more time: I DO NOT CARE HOW YOU CREATE YOUR IMAGES. I have my own standards and I am not trying to impose them on anyone. I agree, there are no rules. I have been told many times that Coral Reef does not look right. Bird too. They don't right to me either. I don't even consider them to be good art, but they are decent technical accomplishments. Looking at what is in the best and most fractal galleries, most folks appreciate technical accomplishments. Let me take a chance on being "a tired conceit" and say that fractals are in a class of their own. I just put up a plain old mandy that will gain attention not because it's a piece of art, but because folks appreciate the math behind it. There sits the difference between fractals and everything else digital. We can create our own formulas with an infinate number of different combinations, variations and locations. There's an inherent beauty to that, but probably not to anyone outside of the fractal world, so it appears as conceit. So be it.
