Title:  Echoes of Elephants

Mandelbrot set distance estimation.  Location found with a variation on https://mathr.co.uk/blog/2014-11-18_navigating_in_the_hairs.html , this one has period 1573, zooming near a period 341 embedded Julia set in a hair off the 1/18 bulb of a period 19 mini near the 7/18 bulb (the month of this contest).  Calculated with Kalles Fraktaler 2.13, coloured using DE histogram (custom code processing a .kfb map file).  Post processed (multiple layers with various thresholds/blurs/combinations) in GIMP, then downscaled from 16384x16384.

Fractal made with the program YAFE. To my knowledge, this software doesn't allow to save parameters. Hue edited with Gimp.
You can find this fractal at 7680x4320 pixels in my Flickr page.
