Description

Ultrafractal 4.04 -- Photoshop 7 Hi, y'all! Here's my fractal CHRISTmas card for this year! I tried to "tell a story" with this one. From the nativity and His birth on Christmas Eve at the lower left, to a "new day dawning" at the upper right and the arrival of peace and love - which I wish to ALL of you! - to mankind. And then some fractally stuff and a holly thingie I've had laying around for years that I 4got I even had to divide the composition because, well, frax b me ya know? :-) I used Photoshop to stick in the birds and do the text. The dove and olive branch symbolize peace, love and hope and the cardinal....well, I just liked him, thought there needed to be a bit of something red there and also he is looking at the arrival and I thought that would be a neat compositional thing to move one's eye toward the dove(?). No "wintery" colors 'cause I DO live in Florida, eh? :-) Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from my heart to everyone! Thanks for taking time out from all the busy-ness of the season to stop by and I hope you all have at least some restful time off from work and plenty of opportunity to rest your feet from trudging up and down the corridors in shopping malls. ;-) c-ya!

Wonderful composition. You always pay attention to the smallest detail. That's why your images are always stacked with layers-and-layers, but the result is magnificent. Merry Christmas to you and yours and all the best for 2009.
