I agree to a point! I personally would like to recieve more honest comments for the purpose of improving my ability. I don't have a problem with a suggested improvement, as long as it is done decently and in an orderly fashion. I mean, not openly running someone's picture down just for the sake of it. I have only been using computer drawing and fractal programs for about a year now, so I now I have a long way to go. William

Congrats Jackie! All the entries were great!

Angie, sometimes there are people that are insecure about themselves, and they seem to have to take it out on others. You have to overlook such simple minded people! Your work is extremely gorgeous, and I think you need to continue posting. This person is probably just jealous because they're work is not as good! Mindy is definitely an inspiration to us here at Renderosity and so are you!! So just keep posting and ignore what other people think or say. You have to be happy with yourself, and who cares about this "person", who obviously hasn't anything better to do!! Hold your head up and get to posting those beautiful images girlfriend!! Vicky

It usually takes us a couple of hours a day to comment and thank people. We do have one advantage, there are two of us. If it were only me, I know I could never keep up! William

One quick note: It must be under 15k! It will not allow images with 15K exactly. I've run into that problem before. William

Welcome! I don't think you can be a real fractaler without liking spirals! William

Hi EllPro, there are a lot of programs with random buttons. The problem is that most of the images generated with random buttons need a little tweaking. Most of the newer fractal programs are geared more toward the artistic than mathmatical. You kind of get hooked into the math part. I really don't like math that much, but I catch myself reading and studing all I can to help. I was actually reading a paper on "matrix math" just yesterday. If someone had told me a year ago that I would be learning so much math, I would never believed them. Oh well, we live, we learn, we live some more! William

Congrats to the winners! All well deserved! William

Hi Bruce, that seems to be a problem with the program. Whatever size you start the program at is what size it will save at. I've lost a couple of great images that way. I like to draw small, 'till I find someone to work with. If you do find away around it, I'd like to know about it! William/paragon5

Sounds like a great idea to me! Just let me know how things turn out!
