Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:  

Today's image is named "Sin of Commission", but don't expect any subliminal racy scenes in the image.  The name refers to the color intensification of the image, which I did in an outside color program.  Since I sometimes consider such superfluous image manipulation to be cheating, I have admitted my sin in the name I gave the image.  The questionable manipulation did raise the color rating from a 5 to an 8 however, so maybe my misdeed was not as bad as implied.

The math aspect rates a 5 however, and there is no way to raise it.  The scene lies deep in East Valley of the large minibrot on the main spike of the Mandelbrot set, an area that has been thoroughly explored at least down to the depth of over 10^14 of today's image.

Since arbitrary precision math is necessary at this depth, the image is a slow one, taking around 20 minutes on a SOTA unit.  But all is not lost, for the 20 minute wait may be avoided by checking the image on the web sites.

Partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 86F 30C, along with high humidity, kept today on the muggy side here at Fractal Central.  The fractal cats kept their eyes on the pigeons that have found their way into the porch roof, while the humans made sure the other things were under control.

The next FOTD will be posted in a day or two.  Until then, take care, and live without fear, for the aliens from Arcturus are here to protect us.
