I have always liked the comparision between fractals and photography. However, many artists have pushed the envolope with compositional fractals containing many fractal elements (flame or otherwise) to create original artistic collages. Other people extend creativity on a more technical side, extending formulea and colouring methods etc. These people are all progressive in their art but the effort put in and even the fact that they are thinking out of the box does not garentee a pleasing piece of art.

Its very difficult to say when something ceases to be a holiday snap and becomes great photography but I hope people keep snapping.
