Behold a fractal devil. Actually that's the name of the formula, the same one used in the Oct. 2 post.
I zoomed in one of the lobes, rotated 90 degrees giving the image a portrait orientation and re-sized.
The rotating of the image takes it from simple anti-aliasing to the level of post-processing.
To everybody this blogs first post-processed fractal! Go to http://maxitersfractalfollies.blogspot.com
for instant gratification.
