The basis for this image is a fractal. A fractal is a fascinating phenomenon to me. A fractal is the result of a mathematical formula. This formula determines a value for each pixel of the image, which can have very different results for adjacent pixels. The resulting value is translated into a color using a separate algorithm. The combination of regularity and instability of the formula and the choices made in the color algorithm, result in exceptionally beautiful patterns in the image.
This image is one from the coral series. This series contains very different elaborations of the same basic fractal, developed by Dave Makin in 2000. The images are on the order of 48 - 64 Mpixels in size and therefore show a high degree of detail and sharpness.
Does this image interest you, but would you like different colors, different sizes or different length to width ratio? Please contact me. A lot of custom work is possible!
