I'm one of those who do mixed-programs pics. They usually start with a fractal as the base picture inspiration and have other elements added. I would post both the unaltered fractal and the final pic in the Fractal Gallery, to show what happened. It would also go up in Mixed-Medium, usually. As mentioned earlier, it was easier to do this when we could put up three pics a day. Now, unless you want to pay hard cash, you have to wait multiple days to post the pics in every appropriate Gallery. The separation of posting creates a gap... and the point of showing the comparison pics is lost. Not sure what the solution is for that problem. I recognize that R'osity is HUGE, and our free posting of pics in the gallery is a privilege.
However, I feel that fractals, both as pure art in their own right and as inspiration for a mixed composition, should be celebrated in all their glory. What we do need is to do, is to continue to raise the standard of art. Unfortunately, this gets us quickly back into the dreaded realm of "The Critique" debate. And I'll leave that for another thread (and another, and another....).
