I wasn't going to say anything until I read Rykk's statement above. I know nothing of art theory and very little about the technical possibilities of the different fractal programs. Therefore, I do not feel qualified to make any comments about improvement. Just as Rykk says---I either like an image or I don't. I comment on the ones I like. As for receiving constructive comments on my post: I'm all for it. But if it gets too technical, I might not know what to do to correct my image. I just do this stuff for fun! Marion
