Description
I'm looking to build an image that would look good hanging on a wall, probably at a size of 20x30. What do you think? Would one like this work?
I'm going for big prints on these because I want to take advantage the infinate resolution of fractals. FWIW, I just rendered a 20x30 at 300 dpi with non-adaptive anti-aliasing. It took about 30 hours and created a 155 meg tiff, but it went without a hitch.
For those of you who don't know me, don't worry about hurting my feelings. In fact, you would be doing me a big favor if you told me that the image wouldn't look good on a wall because you would be saving me the trouble and expense of getting it printed.
Thanks for any help.

It's a beautifully crafted fractal! The colors are great and the design has a lot of depth and intricacy. I think it would look great in the right environment, probably on a wall that was screaming out for some color, drama, and attention but would tend to overpower anything else that was near it so I wouldn't hang it near anything with any pattern on it. Really excellent fractal work!

I'd certainly hang it on my wall. Intricate and outstanding..and very beautiful.

Keith, I think it is very beautiful and would be suitable for anywhere
Alienworlds
Amazing. It's sure a lot to look at, like your other work. Good job!

The colours and the composition are lovely, even a bigger print would look good, though I agree with redbeard. Keep it away from other pictures or paintings. And maybe I would tone-down the large trap lines in the foreground. They stand out so much that they distract you from the rest of the image.

Pretty sure that there is interrest for this for hanging on the wall Its a fine design with a very pretty soft feel The only thing what come ,s up in my mind you can give it maybe a more paint feel use example the filter Old paint or something as that But that ,s a pure personal taste

How much?

Print it!

Somptuous composition! Is the 20x30 in cm? go ahead that will look wonderful inside a house, even if you must be very careful where you put it, this design is very powerful, but you will surely find a suitable place.

With any doubt yes, print it it can be a good picture on the wall great effect! The only one thing I can suggest you Keith is: think well about the colors, these are soft, would have a more colorful painting or not? Think about your forniture..Are they the right colors in your house?! For me yes of course is a great painting, but think well before print it out!!!

Keith, I love it, but I wouldn't hang it on my wall. To look good, it would need a dark background, and most people don't have big enough rooms to have dark walls. What you probably could do, without detracting from the beauty of the fractal, is make the corners and the edges dark, so that the middle looks sort of illuminated. I think it would look much more dramatic that way, too :)

For me this is two or three nice images layered. I feel that the one with the "classical" spiral (and the beautiful colours) would be nice if left alone.

I would definitely love to have it hanging on my wall. Print it!

Well I think this is perfect material for hanging on the wall. Its colourful, interesting and nicely textured. Try taking a smaller print and hang it on a plain wall for a few days. Take the odd opportunity to glance at it. If you're still happy after a few days then go for it.

Keith I took down your picture and experimented with it ,I took one of to pale blue colors a very low opacity and and colored the outside of your image .It gives it a dreamy appearance like it
s coming out from a fog ,that way I would hang it on my wall with great pleasure ,this way you also give it a focus .If you
ll give me your e-mail address Ill gladly mail it to you :) It
s a beautiful fractal and deserves a big Valgra
Of course this one is suited to show on the wall. My suggestion: never try to imitate paintings, fractals are an "art" as such. v

No, I wouldn't hang this one on the wall, although I would hang a smaller one of Flowers 15. This one gives me good info about newtons - they appear to be very tricky to work with. All of those fine, delicate lines can make for a very busy image that looses the image's focal point and contrast and becomes monotonous. I'm looking forward to seeing a re-do of this.

This is very beautiful. IMO, the under layer, the spiral layer, should be a little less visible. Then I would hang it on my wall for sure.
Artistic1
gorgeous!! I love the color scheme.

If you hung this with a special light coming from the upper left that gently changes intensity randomly, it could easily take the place of an aquarium or fire or picture window! There is much to be admired and with somewhat erratic light different parts would be emphasized :)

Beautiful colors in this one, Keith - as ever! I'd try to make the textured swirls a little smaller for a more painted look. Arend's idea of Old Paint won't fly - it will already have a canvas texture if you print on canvas anyhow. Plus, Old Paint is a very "regularized" pattern that repeats noticeably and I don't think it's scalable which makes it useful only for wallpaper sized stuff. I HAVE found that it looks ok if you combine it with a layer of Photoshop "Canvas" and dork with opacities. Personally, I'm trying to make myself get away from 3d looking shapes (without much success - lol) as they tend to scream "digital art" (IMO) and I'm not sure they lend themselves very well to making "fine" prints. I think Janet's stuff is good print material, mostly. And think of this: the infinite resolution of fractals IS very cool...if one intends to stick their nose right onto the print. But you'd have to stand on the sofa, which might tick off your wife a LOT! lol This is why you can get away with even 150dpi for very large prints - they will almost always be viewed from a distance. All that bs said, I think you do have a nice one going here. Maybe crop out some of the very busy stuff at the left because, from a distance it might just look like "noise"?

Julia & Newton never had such a glorius union as this, Keith!!! A wall-hanger indeed IMHO. I like Rykk's suggestion to size the texture down a bit, but this is AWESOME!!!
