Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
With today's moderately deep image (thus the name) we finally escape the string of 7-rated images that were merely average. We check the fractal 'star' of a period-5 sub-bud on the northwest shore line of the largest bud of the largest minibrot on the main spike of the Mandelbrot set.
The 10^(15) magnitude of the image is just beyond the limit of conventional math, yet the image requires over 65 minutes to calculate. I have calculated images in the 10^(75) range that finish in 1/4 the time of today's image.
Most of the impact of the image is due to the coloring, and most of the coloring is due to the Fractint program, not the fastest but arguably still the best. I did tweak a few registers however, so I have the right to claim a little credit.
I'd definitely rate that higher than 8. The color palette has a nice rhythm to it, which accentuates the rhythm of the fronds. -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community
