Yes, I would be totally honored if any of my fractals made it to the weekly window instead of the 'Hot' 20. I know that most people think that is a joke anyway. I just hope I learn enough and become accomplished enough to get one in the weekly window. It seems to be much more 'choosy.' I like that. Everyone I see in it is unique. So I just keep plowing(actually playing) away! I seldom use PSP for my colors in UF, and if I use an effect/filter/plugin to accomplish a certain look or color, it is always written underneath the image. Maybe you just need more gradients to accomplish more colors in your creations. I use some I made in PSP, some I made in Apophysis, and I make up new ones all the time in UF. The colors can make or break a good fractal.
