Thank you for including my image "Cold Dreams"

Keep it and look at it again in a week or so. It's a very nice compostition - to delete it just because you haven't found the right centrepiece (yet) would be a shame.

He seems to have given his motives some thought and removed his comments from the affected images.

Wups! That should be UXF not ufx - my fingers are sleeping still :-)

There are 2 transformations in Ultrafractal 2/3 that produce a Lake effect. You'll find them in the raf.ufx and sg.ufx folders under the Mapping tab on the Layer properties window.

Mine too. The first seven thumbs in my gallery are missing - as well as the larger images :-( Looks like I need to fire up UF and re-render them.

The closest I've come to deliberately creating a fractal to match the way I was feeling was when I broke my right hand. Every time I moved my fingers a spike of pain shot up my arm and made it almost impossible for me to use the hand - and I'm right handed! The image I was working on at the time was all pale creams and delicate texturing so I threw a spikey red shape into the mix. Can't say it made me feel any better but I did reflect the pain I was in.

Other times I find that the colours I choose for my images match the way I'm feeling - so I use strong colours when I'm happy, paler colours when I'm unhappy or feeling quiet, and darker tones when I'm angry etc.
