I think a "good" fractal is one that gets an emotional response from me - pretty much the same as with all art... Whether or not a particular work has nice "clean" lines isn't necessarily what I look for - it's more the overall effect that the complete image has for me. Don't get me wrong - I'm a huge fan of nice crisp clean lines...lol! But sometimes a bit of blur can really bring out a whole different tone to an image. Borders, I'm not a great fan of - but some can really enhance a picture... others destroy the overall effect as far as I'm concerned. I like borders to be simple and not to detract one from the actual fractal - but that's just my taste - I don't use them myself (as yet anyways...lol!) Well - that's my 2 cents worth... T.

Who? Me?
