  • +1. Is this something you put some numbers into a program and the computer churns it out in a few seconds, or is it a big job to make?--Peulle (talk) 16:01, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, kind of. The image is created with a fractal generating program called Kalles Fraktaler 2+. In the Metadata-Information you can get all the information to recreate this fractal detail shown in the image above. The fractal parameters can be varied, depending on the fractal formula. In my opinion, this image shows self-similarity and the infinity of fractal quite well, so I decided to nominate it here. How big the job is depends on what topic in fractal theory you want to focus :). Regards, --PantheraLeo1359531 (talk) 19:57, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Comment It's hard for me to judge the photo as I don't understand much what it displays. Can you please tell us more about the photo? Like eg. why is it green? Does it have any significance? Did you choose the colours or were they chosen by the software? I'd simply like to know what makes this picture special and distinguish it from other pictures at the same categories. --Podzemnik (talk) 00:47, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The colors are generated by a random seed number. The composition of the colors is generated like that, so the contour is clear and sharp. The special in the image is in my opinion a phenomenom showing a spiral which is containing an infinite amount of another spirals at the edges. Also the self-similarity is quite well visible, because the "antennas" get smaller next to each other. Because of these circumstances, zooming can lead to see similar structures. These reasons show IMO well known phenomenoms of fractals in one image. The colors indicate the number of iterations. More iterations curse to a higher detailed fractal. The area, that an iteration affect to the fractal, is colored in another color than the following iteration. For asthetic reasons, the color transitions are smooth. In this case, you can see the transition from black to green/yellow. The black area is a result of a lower iteration number. It is rougher and less detailed than the yellow/green colored area. The colors show arbitrary sizes. By zooming, the colors change because of the change of iterations. The dark area is the area of the fractal. I hope, this description, helps, regards, --PantheraLeo1359531 (talk) 11:54, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
