It's a nice apo creation well done.Cool use of the flames.

What is art,when is something art?who is to say. To me I like flames because of their forms,their strangenes and sometimes mystery and beauty. Some of them evokes feelings in me and images in my mind. I like them plain also but more than that I like to incorporate them in other images,cuz I think they do add something extra. take care.

@vivian and panny..thanx.The problem was that they had the same name..I tried 6 times and it almost drove me mad..LOL. The uploading went well this time...see vivian where would i bee without you,cuz you did it again..LOL. Thanx viv and panny.

@panny,the thumbs you are seeing are the ones that went well,the others I had to delete because there is no thumb only a square with a litle X and the image itself looks horrible,lol. I delete them at once ,this happenend 5 times today,so I can't upload the image..help needed...

I do not support the current guidelines because I also consider my images fractal creations. I only look at and use fractals in a different way. But to me the creation an the proces while doing that is the thing that gives me pleasure. I do think my images should be able to get a place in the fractal gallery but if the majority doesn't think so ,I have no choice than the mixed medium gallery. I will post them there than and that's it. Nick and Barbara I want you to know that I know you are doing your best ,keep up the good work so Far, Later.

I find the outcome,very very disapointing but life is like that sometimes. I will say no more. Take care .

1 more thing...Doodles you said you want the truth. For me to be able to say that I got to know what you want to achieve whit the image,Otherwise i can't tell you the truth about that specific image,I will just say something which is not necesarily the truth. That's it now i', finished. Later and see you in mexed medium.

I want to say also that pointing out points of improvement by others in comment is not the only way to go forward.You can also be critical of your own images. you can compare them to other images wich are realy cool in your opinion and than you will know what to do. I learned a lot by analyzing images wich I thaugt where awesome for whatever reason.[how they might did things and how they achieve technical things ] and by keeping my eyes open in real life. And besides that you must know your tools and try to improve there also and let your imagination be free. If i'm in doubt or want to know how something is done I also just aske. To put it short i'm not looking for anything when posting ,I just get great pleasure to create an image. I post it to share it with others and maybe to hear what they think but the pleasure was already there in the creation part of it.From the posting moment on everything is possible from comments that it rocks,to comments with improvement points to no comments because it is viewed but not cool enough,but the pleausure of creation was already there and I try to stay critical for myself. So all kind of comments are welcome but not neccesary in my case to improve or to enjoy.They can help you to improve but there are other ways also. Well that's about it and english isn't my native language so if you read strange things, you know the reason for that. Later.

First of all i don't consider myself an artist,it's to big a name for me.I just enjoy creating the images,for me it's just anoyher way to express myself.I just make the things in my mind visual and that gives me great pleasure but that's just me. To me any kind of comment is welcome [also no comment is cool] sometimes you can do something with it and sometimes you can't because you create from a different state of minde or you are aiming for something else. I believe that in creation everything is possible therefore it is difficult for me to tell someone something about improvement because I don't know his or her state of mind and his or her aim with the image.[if there is one] If i know about his or her aim with the image then I can say something to improve if that is neccesary but most of the time you don't know anything about the aim of someone. I usually on average got lets say about 20 comments on my images ,most of them possitive but I got a few with point's of improvement from the commentators point of view. i enjoyed them all. I truly believe that in my case those who comment do that to let me know that they did enjoy what they saw.[that's also possible you know] A few peolple did enjoy but thaught it could be better and also told me that in the comment.I assume that those who viewed the image and did not enjoy didn,t left a comment. that's cool with me those are all possibilities in creation. To me also if someone wants to say something i don't mind if it's in the comment or through IM. If I think it's rubbish i don't react on it and if it got to do with point's of improvement in a normal way imo ,I react.[see part 2]

Since i'm one of those peolple who posted images with other things than fractals i feel the need to say this.I understand that there where many complaints about that and that the rules had to be redefined. Altough I think that my images do belong in this gallery I will post most if not all of my images to the mixed medium gallery.I want to be free in my creations and I don't want my imagination to be limited. I liked this gallery and i thought I contributed something nice to it but since the rules changed that means the majority does not feel that way. I want to focus on creation and ,I don't want to think will this be allowed or not while doing that,I takes away some of my pleasure when creating my images and that is the main reason why i'm doing this. So I will post them in mixed medium because that's the way i want them to be. I love fractals so i still will come over to check out some of the beautiful pure fractal composition from all of you. Later,we still cool,and don't forget the software is the tool to create it's not about the software but about what you have craeted and the pleasure while doing that.IMO.

I think that anything that could be done with fractals should get the chance to be posted in the fractal gallery. It's not important if the final image was created in a fractal program or composed in photoshoppsp.It shows the beauty of fractals and what could be achieved with fractals or fractal programs. In cases where you come in a grey area [fractal or mixed medium] It should be left to the creator to decide if he wants to share in mixed medium or the fractal gallery. heshe created something that did not exist before and now we are going to tell himher where it belongs. You don't know his thougts when creating the image and you don't know what he was aiming for yet you are telling him what the focal point is.I would say leave things as they are and in the grey area leave it to the creator,the important thing is sharing something beautiful and where heshe wants to share it...well.
