Hello! I can not hold it anymore,probably I will loose another bet again(?) Each time when I post set of 3 images I make a bet with my wife about which of them will be most popular in course of 48 hours. As for today I was sure that "Chello Chellenis" will beat by head others too.Now after about 10 hours I see that "Tumultus3" is most popular and I do not understand why. My only explanation is that thumbnail of "Chello..." does not look good,but when You would open it looks much better than Tumultus3.And the truth is that Tumultus3 looks ugly next to Chello...I have no daubt about it.By the way I was thinking if Tumultus3 deserves to be even posted. Please notice that I compare MY,not others images and I would be happy if someone told me why "spring spiral" is better then "weird spiral" :) I understand that we have so many different tastes ,because otherwise we all would still drive black Ford model T,but in this case I think people take too seriously "numbers of cliks" and when they see nothing nice on thumbnails they do not want to "waste" their vote. But as we all know real beauty in fractal can be seen with large size and large resolution and without compresion. Well even those JPG images on Renderosity does not look like they should be. Then please go and click "Chello chellenis",because I do not want to loose another 5 $ ....lol... Greetings..........Wojtek....... PS.I am writeing this with a smile on my face,then do not be offend,but I think I have a point :)
