Come on, man. The bailout _might_ be reasonable, but how many points escape after 255 iterations?
I can't speak for this particular image, but several years ago, (before I had a family and I still had lot's of spare time), I created a mandelbrot fractal image where every pixel in a 1024x768 image iterated a minimum of 83,693 times with a max iter set to 2 million. It is hard to imagine an array of adjacent points iterating that many times before diverging into a unique and beautiful image but the proof is before you. http://spanky.triumf.ca/www/fractint/hi-iter.html Cheers, Noel
