FOTD -- April 30, 2014 (Rating A-5,M-5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image rates a totally mediocre 5 in both its art and math aspects. I'm not sure what happened, but the more I worked on the colors, the less satisfying they became. I finally gave up and decided to make the mish-mash of colors the theme of the image, hoping that something worthwhile might emerge. The parent fractal was created when I combined 10 parts of Z^100 with 0.1 part of straight (Z) and added straight (C) on each iteration. This parent is nothing more than a lopsided open circle with 99 tiny buds around its perimeter. Today's scene is located in a small area of interest along the negative X-axis where it emerges from the circular main bay. The name "Uncoordinated Color" describes my impression of the scene. But even though the colors are gaudy and clashing, this does not mean the image is worthless. And the relatively fast calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes makes it a small task to see the meager worth. The web sites will make it even easier. The finished image is online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> Clouds, rain and temperature of 50F 10C made today another day to be forgotten here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats forgot the day early and decided to find satisfaction in their food dishes, while the fractal humans had another routine day. The next FOTD will be posted in about one more day. Until then, take care, and watch your words.
