Description
Ultrafractal 3.02 and Apophysis'es 1 and 2b11
(rendered version coming... slowly lol)
A perfect shelling morning on the beach on Sanibel Island - "nice" and windy with good size waves sure to kick up a few big ones! This is about as close as we get to a winter here in Florida!
I wish you all a VERY happy and wonder-filled 2004 and thanks for stopping by - make sure to brush the sand off of your feet when you go back inside! :>) (btw - what IS the plural of Apophysis? lol)

Great copmposition Rykk...makes me yearn for the sun sand and sea....I would imagine that Apophisys is one of those those words both plural and singular, or maybe Apophphysii :-)
very original use of fractals - excellent - well done!
! Wonderful mood and atmosphere! Lovely foreground object! Cool waves! "Happy New Year" Rick! VOTE
Impressive image. I like everything about it but I like the waves the most. Never seen that done before.
Beautiful composition!
gorgeous color combinations!so unique the whole composition! very impressive!!
I agree with all the above. Strange semi-rendered quality only makes it more unique.
Yea the hard to fine shell is your canvas of colors...nice work.
Sanibel is a lovely place and you did a great job here. The driftwood is really cool. Very interesting and beautiful image.
Excellent image, the waves are great and the little pools of water on the sand. Nice work mate.
Oh, wow! I really love this. I have never been there, but I think I would love it. What a treat to look at this time of the year. It reminds me of the commercial with the Christmas lights in the palm trees. It came together beautifully.
Fantabulous!!! I think I'm going to stop making fractals. Vote.
Very original and different using fractals! And your Island! Beautiful and excellent VOTE
Fantastic image Rick :) Superb detail and colouring. Everything is perfect, driftwood, waves and the gull. Happy New Year :)
You've captured the colors! Seductive imagery!!
truely fantastic design rick :-) a wonderful composition smile
looks fantastic and no wonder you want to return to that beach to find that special shell.. It looks like paradise.. Gorgeous composition!!~~VOTE~~
Fantastic image, Rick! I especially love the ocean and the seagull ( even though I spent most of my life hating them )!
shakes head in dumbstruck awe
A comment from Sharm el Sheikh (Red Sea - Egypt);)- A wonderful sea here, but less than your image. (It was possible to do better? I didn't believe till now). Hug.
WONDERFUL!! You've done it again! Vote. .. and I think the plural is Apopysises:-) ( Or maybe the "word-inventor" didn't think of that problem when he made the word, huh?)
Very beautiful, Rykk. :)
Lovely composition! I like the wave!
