Do you?

Thank you!

Traditional pattern, and yet this is a great first attempt at a fractal/flame. Your composition is great and the colours really bring this piece to life. A very crisp and clean render too. Well done!

If you don't mind - What software did you use for this? Take care.

Thank you so much for your comment Mark, I really appreciate it!

Well, the formula is not the fractal flame but the Phoenix (Julia) one.
The software I used is Ultra Fractal 4.03 Standard Edition. Even though it's a great easy-to-learn program, it's not freeware like Apophysis. You can download an evaluation version here [link]

Let me say that your gallery is really awesome! I assume that you use Apophysis for your fractal images, but I would like to ask you the following: Do you use photoshop as well to further adjust the colors of your images?

I really like your work and I am going to watch you! ( i hope that you don't mind)

You are very welcome, Marie. It's a great image. I also meant to say 'Fractal 1' deserves a better title! Unless, you have a good reason for naming it so, of course!

I thought the image had an Ultra Fractal feel to it, but could not be certain. I've tried UF before, but haven't broken out the wallet to buy it yet!

Thank-you for the comment on my gallery. And I'd be happy to be added to your friends list - I appreciate the support!

Yes, I use Apophysis for fractals and yes, Photoshop for post work on almost all of my fractals. I use it mostly for layering and composition - because I want to 'push' the image a little further. That's just me, my personal preference, but is probably frowned upon by most fractal purists. And yes, I sometimes use PS to adjust the colours and contrast.

Bye for now. Take care, Marie.

Well, the title"Fractal 1" has no special meaning, it's just the fact that I am not good at coming up with impressive titles. However, I will try to give a better title to my next fractal art deviation. (hopefully)

I have already created something like a polystar in UF but I think that I need to fix it with PS.Anyway, when (and if) I will upload it, I will inform you so as for you to tell me what you think.

You are a great fractal artist and your comments are of great significance to me since I am still a newbie in fractal art. ( yes, I pretty recently found out about Apophysis and UF , like a week ago.)

Bye Mark, take care.

Thanks both for the comment and the my metal friend!

Excellent fractal. Nice sharp render, excellent gradient use. Look forward to seeing more
