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)

Very nice work Rick! What a beautiful merger of different fractal types. Those waves and shoreline are superb.
totally amazing..coloring and shading of those waves and foam is so impressive!!!!
Wowsers! The whole composition is breathtaking- but that sand and those waves knock me out. Let me grab my bermuda shorts and the geiger counter and let's go for a walk!
Fantastic composition.The waves are amazing.

Exquisite and breathtaking! You have created a real treasure, which for me, is far lovelier than any Junonias washed ashore! Wishing you the best shell hunting in this New Year! Bravo, my friend, bravo!
Absolutely fantastic... and on a day like today, I REALLY wish I was there. Thanks for letting me dream of sun and waves today. ^_^

Stunning, amazing, fantastic - just incredible!
Fantastic, Rick, it may have been painted with a computer, but it's even more wonderful for that. I find myself holding my breath waiting for the waves to crash. You always take computer art to a new high.
Sorry I'm late...did I miss anything? YOW...what a wonderful work of art, Rick. Stunning, really stunning.
Lovely work ! Very creative and original. "my vote" Congratulations !
a magic ofspring from your supreme art :)
Happy New Year, Rick! This is a truly beautiful and exceptional work of art.
This was put together so beautifully, so professional looking with a personality and flair. WAY TO GO!
Hi Rick - just looked at your gallery and seen this superb beach image of yours ( my computer crashed at the time you posted this , so missed it at that time ) - Anyway better late than never to say that this is a delightful image. I have always loved beaches and ocean waves. The waves are beautifully done with their foaming tops and as for the driftwood words fail me - suffice to say that the dark brown spirals are amazing and the lighter coloured mother-of - pearl inlay is delightful { rather like ' chinoiserie ' }. Good job I checked your gallery and stumbled across this magnificent image ! c-ya .. Mike
Superb composition!! Very creative, nice coloring.
Good job Rickie. Looks like you got quite a few coments, wonder if you will get to this one. Give me a call. At work today or at home. 1/24/04
You're a genius...your image is fantastic!
