I know this is fractals and i know you all know fractals. At lest the ones doing it for some time. Well in photos they are takeing nature fractats and a lot of them do not know fractals in natural. I took this photo of a rock and someone say it not a fractal. I think it is for it would be a line fractal I will upload three images one is the photo and two is fractals thank you for your wisdom

what you see is not what you know; it in your face

here is the fractal I made a year ago that look like the rock to me

what you see is not what you know; it in your face

here is another line fractal. i guess you call it a line fractul. If not tell me the real name?

what you see is not what you know; it in your face

you should submit the foto to the foto forum challenge for this months challenge. nature resembles fractals or fractals resemble nature

think I did lol . the foto is the first image. Oh for got the thumby nail lol.

 

Wait i did. some one in the photo say this was not a fractul and I say it is . It a line fractul. I post it here to see what the fractul people say about the photo. Is it a fractul or not???

 

[thought I was in the photo forum at frist got mix up lol
:blink:

Hey there... A fractal mathematician might be in a better position to say any thing clear. What my knowledge tells me is that present day fractal science is derived or inspired from nature (and various fractal-like patterns that exist in nature). For example, the buds, shore lines, rock patterns and formations, etc etc Fractal theories have been applied to various purely scientific and social fields as well, (stock exchanges...etc). So the posted image can be stated as a naturally existing fractal itself, or some one may argue that it is not a fractal because it was not created using a specialized fractal software, lol! From its apparent structure, you can call it a line fractal but as said above, only a person who studies and classifies naturally existing fractal patterns can have the definite answer... It may look like just a line but it can be made up of (virtually infinite) number of more complex (and definitely not yet known) fractal patterns.... Take a look at the left end of a standard mandelbrot set. It appears like a line but there is infinite complexity... Thats what I have to say at the moment base on my limite knowlwedge and perception of fractal sciences/patterns... Take care... Salamah Bin Akwa...

thanks you  Salamah-Bin-Akwa

Of course the last image is a fractal, it has a fractal structure as found in the Hénon attractor.  There doesn't exist a special name for it and that's not necessary.  We only use a relative small part of the large field of fractals.  More theory of the Hénon attractor can be found in many books, for instance Peitgens, Jürgens, Saupe: 'Fractals for the Classroom, part 2'.
