Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: 

In today's image we add only 0.000000000000000000000000000001 part of Z^(-5) to 100 parts of Z^2.  The resulting tiny M-set still has a few remnants of the negative exponent lurking in the depths of its buds.  Today's scene lies in a bit of this leftover debris in the center of the main bud of the large minibrot on the main spike of the tiny parent M-set.

I rated both the art and math interest at a 7, making the image notably average.

I leave it to the individual fractalist to decide whether the name "Reasonable Result" accurately describes the image.

There is nothing super spectacular about the image, but it renders in a mere 30 seconds, making the calculation a breeze.  The fickle winds can be avoided by checking the image on one of the web sites.

The day began pleasant enough here at Fractal Central, with blue skies and white cottonball clouds, but heavier clouds moved in during the afternoon and the humidity increased, making the temperature of 82F 28C feel a bit muggy.  The fractal cat, now over 10 years old, crawled under a slip cover and spent the afternoon appearing as little more than a breathing lump, while the fractal humans made it through another day with nothing going wrong.

The next FOTD will be posted on a day in the near future.  At this time the best bet is August 04.  Until whenever, take care, and even when a person knows something, there is no guarantee of its truth.
