well I posted a long involved response to this and it's not here. Of course I failed to copy it. Ok so short version. Love the idea of the new weekly picks. Gives us a wonderful new way, much easier also, to see progression in fractals overall and to see some of the gems we may have missed. I also tend to get upset when a fractal is off the pages after a few days. It means I've lost anymore chances of getting help with it. Though I lve the 'excellent, beautiful'comments, I REALLY look forward to the constructive ones. I like to know what can be improved or what sucks about an image. Tips are ALWAYS welcomed, lol. Keith, your images are and always will be top notch work! Don't worry about why this and not that. Each one is an inspiration but what Ireally like about you and your work is seeing the progression each fractal takes as you manipulate and improve each one. I learn quite a bit from that approach, thank you :). As far as the popularity contest, I agree it's human nature. Luckily I knew that before I joined here or I would always be depressed about it, lol. I've never made the H20, nor have I ever had very many comments. I did recently have an image in the weekly picks. That had me dancing in my offic and yelling so loud my kids heard me on the 3rd floor, ROFL. So anything more may actually bring the house down :D! I comment only because I really like an image, I have 3 kids so I value what little time I have. I post only because I like the results. Sometimes it may not be the whole image just an aspect of it. This is because I tend to work on one big project at a time and post bits of it, or examples, as I go. Sorry for the typonese today (for those of you not fluent in typonese, it's bad typing, lol) hands are not cooperating. Anyway there's my useless input :) Melissa
