I agree entirely. "Total Failure" wasn't at all bad. There are much worse around...like the infamous Blivot!

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Today's image rates a horrendous 2. It is one of the lowest rated images ever to have made the status of FOTD. And to make things worse, it takes almost an hour to render. Normally, this image would have been an instant victim of the delete key, but I included it among the honored FOTD fractals for two reasons: first, I wanted to demonstrate what, IMO, makes a fractal image bad; second, I had a bad day at the fractal keyboard. (Those who work with fractals have bad days, just like those who work with everything else.)
I thought it was quite a jolly one - like an aerial view of a flower bed full of bright flowers! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Best wishes John -- John Lewis, jlewis@clara.net on 07/01/2004
