Another great image Jim thanks for posting it.

I did some exploring in the image and I noticed there was an interesting looking spot in the middle of each "dog paw". By dog paw I mean one of the eight things radially around the center at about half the distance from the center to the edge. I zoomed in on this point and sure enough there was eventually a minibrot there too. This minibrot was much deeper than the one at the center of the original image and was at a zoom of 6e140. While zooming in, I saw the same radial dog paw feature similar to the original image repeat a few times but I also saw another form that was interesting. This other form looked somewhat like the center flower but radially repeated around the center. This feature appeared twice that I saw. Once with two radial and once with four radial flowers. The four radial flower case was at a zoom of about 4e129. Here is a link to the image I saw and the parameter file if case anyone would like to draw it.

If you want to see the final minibrot you can change the zoom to 6e140. The two radial flower case was at a zoom of 5e117. I was going to make a deep zoom movie of this but it would have taken weeks of computer time to render enough anti-aliased frames to make it interesting.
