Wings

I love playing with the symmetry filter on my computer program.  This was an unexpected outcome.  At first I thought it looked like a butterfly, but now I think it's more like "wings".  I also played with the palette of colors to get an unexpected range of some muted and some bold colors.  

I call it "Wings" but suddenly I think it could be a "Troika".

Symbolic Fissure - Finished

I knew when I posted yesterday that my new fractal, Symbolic Fissure wasn't complete.  I tweaked it in a photo application.  
After playing with layers and filters, I finally came up with something that I really like:

I played with some things that I normally don't do.  However, the end result is a halo-effect on the overall image.  Cool.

Symbolic Fissure

Here's one I'm working on - it's not complete, yet.  I started it late last night and I'm not satisfied with it.  However, I like the color scheme.  I might edit it in Photoshop and play around with it some more.
I had an askew image and then I hit the "symmetry" filter in my computer program.  It made it into a bilateral image.  That's actually part of why I don't like it, yet: it's sorely symmetrical.  
My goal is to work on it today to come up with a striking image that isn't so...worked up.  Ha!

It's my work in progress...I call it "Symbolic Fissure".

The name for this just popped into my head.  I'm not sure I'll keep it, but it's a working title.  

Crowned Jewel

I'm in the process of working with "Crowned Jewel" - a fractal I created and now I'm posting it to the Zazzle marketplace.  It's one of my favorites so far.

After I made this, I played with the colors and I love the jewel tones.  When I finished, jewels must have been on my mind, because that was the first name that popped into my head for this image.
