Thank you so much for viewing and all of your comments.

OK, here's the deal
This image lacks a focal point,
It has no real direction,
It is much to busy,
There is not enough contrast in colours and form,
It shows technical skill but lacks a soul
This is a poor image
And that's just MY opinion ...LOL
So why the heck post it anyway?
Well I spend two precious hours on it,
I started with an idea,
Lost it somewhere in the middle,
And didn't know where I wanted to go instead,
But it shows who I was today,
A failing human being,
And I loved every minute of it ;-))

Put the blame on the software, my feelings are with you, we're only huuman:-)The Excellent is your self criticism!
...!!!... This is a really great chaotic composition! Thanks for showing it here!
I love your prose under the image. :) Awesome fractal, Stunning colors. Excellent work.
Aww ... it is not all that bad .. I think you are being too harsh on yourself today ! Maybe a bit chaotic .. but a lot of the fractals here are more or less chaotic ! But daring of you to write it here :) .. still we all know you can do much better ... it is still a great image !
it is a bit busy but i like it :)
I think that about most of my pictures! :-). I think it might work better if you had the background at a (3d) angle, so that we were't looking at it head-on as it were. It might give it more of a sense of movement. Hope you don't mind the suggestion.
Not at all, I can use all the help I can get today... LOL!!
I like it its so chaotic^.^but nice
Nou ik vind hem anders gewoon heel mooi! Zoutvaatjes, eierdopjes ,fotolijstjes, en zelfs wat appelschillen....all in the eye of the beholder:-)
I think I see what you mean, but perhaps if you came back to it after some time has passed you would know what you wanted from it ... the frustration of trying to attain something, yet not being happy with it is something I know all too well!
No idea what it is...but is just fantastic! Excellent done!!!!
Fantastic and complex fractal.
HEY!!! ): I thought you told ME not to critique my own stuff when I post. Now YOU'RE doing it!! Now CUT THAT OUT!!! q-: Yes, it is very busy, but it has a lot of very cool forms 'n' shapes, nice colors, shading & reflections, and hey...I love it! V (: By the way, my honey is somewhat of an artist, and he says that big ball over on the right is a focal point. He says it jumps at you.=so there! lol q-:
Heel speciale montage!Heel goede afwerking!Mooie lichteffecten! Een v voor het id!!
I like the sense of perspective the back construct lends (though I'd prefer different deark colors with the pink and copperish grees of the foreground conglomerate), and I like the interlocking weave of the twisted coned shapes. It's still awesome, desite the lack of a focal point. KUDOS for being honest and for posting it anyway. :~)
Good to hear I am not alone - I feel that quite often with my images :) And I like your XD even though a bit chaotic.
I should fail so gracefully...LOL! I like chaos...therefore I like the image!
Love it!! The thumb looks like a bunch of bald guys peeking in a window!!
I am laughing. You aren't a failure today. You made me laugh. I haven't laughed in a while 'cuz I am sick, but you made me laugh. I have been there. EXACTLY! and I love the title. I have wanted to do that so many times. By the way, maybe you think that all of those things are true, but I like this. This looks like what I would see if I could see instead of hear inside a music store. A cacophony of sounds separate yet somehow cohesive...catching a note here, a melody there.
You spent only 2 hours on this?? What am I going to do with the images that suck and I worked days on them? Since you've decided to be your own critique I won't comment on it any further (like it!).
another splendid work - wow amazing what you can create in this time - excellent work !!!
Tout est chanbarddans ce fractal, tout est l'envers LOL! J'aime beaucoup les formes, couleurs et textures..Travail impressionnant :)
I do not believe it matters about there being no particular focal point : the whole image ( and it is certainly a very interesting one }is full of fascinating shapes and my eye is naturally drawn to the largest shape on the right. The spiral structures and shadow effects are very well done !
This is so exciting! It dazzles the eye!
Would you mind if I disagree with almost everything you said? I love the complexity and the sharp render, and the colors. As others have said, you shouldn't critique your own work.
Pretty darn nice "failure", my friend! :?)
