[Fractint] FOTD 26-09-05 (Square Root of 2-4 [5])

26 Sep 2005

      FOTD -- September 26, 2005 (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's fourth venture into the world of the square root of 2 
did not turn out as well as I had hoped.  I could give the image 
a rating no higher than a 5.  But a rating of a 5 is average, 
and an average fractal is always worth a look.  I will search 
the +4321 parent fractal one more time before moving on to other 
levels.  I am still confident that it holds some better scenes 
than the two I have found so far.

Today's scene lies in a 5-pointed star near the tip of a 
filament extending from the third largest bud of the main bay of 
the parent, which is located on the eastern shoreline.  The 
overly gaudy coloring makes the image look more like a wild 
carnival decoration than a dignified fractal, but the render 
time of 3 minutes is brief enough to keep computer time and 
inconvenience to a minimum.

The finished image is available on the FOTD web site at:

Lots of clouds and a temperature of 77F 25C kept the cats 
contented on Sunday here at Fractal Central.  Today is starting 
cloudy with showers in the forecast.  But no rain has fallen 
yet, so maybe things will turn out not so bad for the duo.  For 
me the work is average.  The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours.  
Until then, take care, and why is it that we never know what 
Nostradamus predicted until after the event happens.
