Fractal visionaries:

Today's fractal again takes advantage of the bof61 inside fill
feature of Fractint, which colors the points according to their
closest approach to the origin.  I named it "angel" because it
looks a little like an angel -- but not too much like one.

The image demonstrates that as the exponent of Z in a mandeloid
is made smaller, the action shifts from outside the fractal to
the inside, where it can be revealed by the fill options.

The negative Z in the formula rotates the odd order sets 90
degrees, while leaving the even order sets unchanged.  This
action completely changes the nature of the fractional order
sets, and reveals details in the sets of orders just a bit
greater than one, which are normally no more than tiny oblong
holes. 

More on these low-order sets in the near future.  The finished
image is hopefully posted to ABPF.  I say hopefully because
yesterday's picture didn't make it, causing me to have to repost
it this afternoon.
