A question/discussion topic for all you out there:

I normally post pics that are, at first glance, -not- fractal art. No obvious Mandelbrots or Julia, no spirals, nothing that immediately says "Fractal". On those rare occasions when I do feel like making a traditional frac, there is more response from viewers who've never before commented on my 'normal' pieces.
And in a recent IM exchange with another fractal artist, she mentioned that doing the same old spirals was getting tedious for her, and she wanted to do something different.

So, first question: how many of you get tired of the same-old-same-old? and secondly: if you -have- left the beaten path, have you noticed a different response from the audience?

(Please note that this is NOT a complaint [I make my pics to please myself only], nor a trolling for viewers, merely an idea that I would like to discuss.)
