Keith, The other "major" digital art software platforms have galleries devoted to the output of those programs. Since there are so many "fractal programs" out there, the "Fractals" gallery would be assumed to encompass the work created using the myriad capabilities of all of the software that calls itself a "fractal generator"? UF has a lot of built in graphic editing capability and your hummingbird image shows off the possibilities of that program VERY nicely, Keith. Same with Apo - there are a lot of different types of flames you can create using the built in or freely submitted script routines, mirroring or just by pushin' the ol' polygons around. With Bryce, there are capabilities for widely varying types of images, too. You could make a landscape with it or a completely different abstract/surreal thing like, say, arraffael, vjera or eres have made. Both those types are the output of the Bryce platform and get posted to that gallery and show the wide variation of images you can create using that program. One wouldn't post a Bryce landscape to the Terragen gallery. It would be "Bryce/Landscape", maybe? If there were separate galleries for "Landscapes" and "Abstracts" and not denoting specific software programs then it would go in "Landscapes", I suppose? Even moreso with the Fractals Gallery - the types of images possible are innumerable. Everything from "traditional" self-similar spiral forms, geometric abstracts, castles, undersea-scapes, space scenes, layered or scripted flames, landscapes and - yes, hummingbirds - are possibilites using the various softwares available to make art with fractals. While holding to ANY of the 4 choices for the guidelines of this gallery, I think your image belongs here because it was made using a program generally considered to be a "fractal program". Though I don't think the gallery should turn away an image that looks fractal if it wasn't made with one of the Windows fractal generators. Not a lot of Mac versions of fractal programs out there and Harmen has done a heckuva job creatinf a fractal "look" with the tools available to him, IMO. If one is creative they can make a fractal-like image with other things, too, and who could tell if they didn't say anything? Or care? I just think it should include both the "pure" fractal types and all the other images, like yours, that show just how varied and rich the creation of fractal art can be using the capabilities of the available programs that we are fortunate to have discovered. Actually, if one selected "Fractal" and "Nature", rather than "Fractal" and "All", your image is in THAT gallery/subgrouping with others that have birds and animals created with fractals so, in a sense, it IS posted in the "right" gallery. BTW - the first thing my eye is drawn to in your image is the white "flower" and then down the "stalk" and then up to the hummingbird. Probably because of the bright white and the bird's colors stand out less from the background. Kind of cool because the bird is a neat, delayed "surprise" as you dwell on the image. Nice touch! The possibilities are endless...resistance is futile...we will be assimilated :?) Rick
