Well thanks for the greetings guys, tis much appreciated. If you are interested this is my Rosity gallery here http://www.renderosity.com/gallery.ezByArtist=Yes&Artist=BlueRose And this is where it all started with Terragen and my first fractal images http://www.geocities.com/terragenblue

I enjoyed your gallery, especially the swirls. Beautiful and imaginative!

Thanks, I quite like the swirls but they didnt achieve much notice in the general scheme of things. Am I the only person frustrated at how you work so hard at an image and think it looks great and it gets a less than lukewarm reaction :(

No, your're not the only one! I call that "The Artist's Lament".... The only thing I can figure is that it happens to keep us humble, and to focus us internally, instead of externally. Which is all well and good, I guess, but I think we'd all prefer a rousing ovation! Your image is very sophisticated and elegant. Like a piece of alien art...Neato

"Artists Lament" well yes I agree there. Interesting thought on the internal focus........today is a public holidy, its Easter, and one of the 3!!! public holidays I dont have to work. Its a screaming hot norwester outside and a good reason to stay inside and twiddle :) Thanks for everyones comments, I am truly delighted with this particular image, and think its quite extraordinary what Xenodream can do, esp the new version. It seriously rock!
