Mesmerizing.

Chaoscope? That is what it looks like to me, plus an image overlay. I really like this, but it's super fuzzy. Any way for you to sharpen this?

Great concept. Please see my "Tribute To Da Vinci" at my gallery.

Tom

Thank you! I've just seen your tribute and...well, the whole of your gallery is truly amazing...you're an Aphophysis master for sure!!!
I got it today...I need some "training" now, but I think I'll take a lot of time just to try to reach your results!
You'll be the welcome here in Milan so...tell me if one day you'll be here!
Cheers

Thanks for looking at my works and for the kind comments.

Everything starts at the beginning; I know you will do good. It takes time to understand it (I am still learning). Don't be afraid to experiment.

If or when I visit Milan I will let you know. Italy seems to be a beautiful country and I want to sample wine and cheese at an outdoor cafe. And maybe some Amaretto!

Tom

Well, I think you deserve this kind of comments!!!
My main problem with Apophysis is about the quality of the images...your renderings are beautifully detalied, mine ones look full of grain...have you got any suggestion about that!?!? I tried to play with rendering sliders (gamma, brightness and vibrancy) and I reached better results, but I'm not satisfied yet!!!
I must admit I live in a beautiful country and I'm sure you'll love all of food, drinks (you must try Amaretto with coffee) and art you can find here...well, people are not so bad indeed!!!
Hear you soon, bye!
