Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
Today's 7.5 rated image lies in the same parent fractal as yesterday's
failure of an image. True, it lies in a different part of the
parent, but this has little to do with the improvement. Most
of
the improvement is a result of the additional work I put into the
coloring.
Yesterday's 3-rated image is just a mass of colors scattered
haphazardly, with no apparent order, while today's image has a unifying
theme of subtlety. There are no patches of brilliant gaudy
colors
in today's scene, only a rather soothing blend of subtle pastel tints,
almost resulting in a gray-scale image. Since it did take a
bit
of effort to achieve this subtlety, I rewarded myself with a half-point
bonus.
The name "At-One-Ment" spells 'atonement' when the caps and hyphens are
removed. It indicates that today's image is an atonement for
the
sorry excuse of an image I posted yesterday.
The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is certainly a far better deal
than the 12 minutes required for yesterday's image. And even
this
brief effort may be avoided by checking the currently active FOTD web
site at:
http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html
where the finished image is posted.
The original FOTD web site may be accessed at:
http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/
but the last time I checked, it was not up to date.
Friday here at Fractal Central began with a bone-chilling temperature
of +5F -15C. It warmed to above freezing in the afternoon but
then a veil of clouds moved in, weakening the sun and disappointing the
two fractal cats.
My day was close to normal. FL is quite enthused about the
revolution in Egypt. I think it has brought back memories of
the
anti-Vietnam War protests she saw so many years ago. (Where
did
those 40 years go?)
It will not be 40 years before the next FOTD is posted. It
will
be more like 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be ready
for
whatever might be coming.
