I'm taking Janet's 3rd Uf class "Artisty in Ultrafractal" and in one of the lessons she pulls concepts from Harley Brown's Eternal Truths for Every Artist. One being the concept of "lost and found" edges. The idea being that not all edges to a shape need to be clearly defined...if portions blend into the background, the eye will have a tendency to recognize the edge. So I played with that idea here.
I am also playing around with "eyeflow"...I think this image pulls the eye in from bottom left, up through the left spiral and then across the top to the pentagram. My wife feels that her vision enters bottom left and then, because of the long thin arm, shoots rapidly straight across to the pentagram upper right, then the top shape brings her vision back to the left, down the spiral.
Would y'all mind telling me what you think? What do you notice first...then next...then next...in other words, how does your vision travel around this image?

I must say that I agree with your wife, but then again, I am a Venutian :)

Beautiful colors! It's rich and elegant!

A lot of inetesting eye movement!

loved your art... absolutely loved this one! about eye movements, not so easy, but yes the large swoosh does lead your eye upwards to the upper right corner... but nevermind the edges... about the title: I think I was just kept founding things here, without losing; one connection, then another, then another... nothing's lost, one of the facets lights up, sparkles, only to be replaced by another sparkling facet, a beautiful crystal... great job with this one!

I love the way the facets graduate in color and light. What was dim is brilliant now as it ascends. Wonderful detail, overall flow and texture. Rich and beautiful..and an interesting-to-view perpsective. Excellent.

Well, being dyslexic, I have a propensity for doing things backwards! My eyes were caught by the top center. The gold and the sandy texture really caught my eye. Then down to the left, to that astonishing green, and then going right, to complete the circle back to the center! Wonderful fractal!

For me, the focus began with the second tendril sweeping out from the far left lower spiral at the point where it nearly intersects the paler green x-center, then down that arc to the spiral itself, then slowly up that spiral into the upper massive spiral and across its long arc to the "pentagram". From there nearly straight down to the pentagrammatic echo structures.. Fine work: a sharp sense of ponderous mass comes strongly through....

Top center down to lighter green cross, to left origin of the two spirals, to lower right for the smaller origin of two spirals. I like the grainy overall effect.

KLASSE !!!!!

I did what chesscanoe did. I saw all the cool textures in the middle to right corner, then on over to the left, then down and across to the right. Wonderful textures and depth. V (:

Oh dear, I'm afraid my eyes run from one corner to the other. Start on the bright winglike shapes in the top (just right of the middle) than down to the left corner, up again to the pentagram in the upper right corner and than straight down to the right corner below. Got that? I'd rather just take the image in. Love the colours and texture ^_^

I go from top right to bottom left, then straight across the bottom. Beautiful work!

the spiral arms draw my eyes to the left edge.. i do like the soft effect

Excellent play! Wonderful result, gorgeous formation and colours!
