Fractalforums

The rules are as follows:

- Every user can submit ONE cool picture to become our fractal image of the month.
  Images must be your own creation!  Production date is unimportant.

- Good resolution (HD mandatory, 4k preferred for print of calender if you win)
   Images must be fractals, created with fractal software, postproduction is allowed.

- To participate, just post in this thread and attach the image to your post. (don't use the gallery)
   Please give it a good name, and add interesting info like software/formula used, parameter sharing is very welcome!

- The first two weeks of the month are for suggestion, until the end of  the 14th of the month,   00.00 hr. midnight  (A'dam time) 
   Check your local time here:

- You can vote for each entry once (using our voting system bronze, silver and gold -  1, 2 and 3 points)
  This voting period is from the beginning of the contest, until the end of the 28th of the month. You can change your vote during the
  entire period.  Voting will be stopped at 00.00 hr.  midnight  A'dam time.  Check your local time here:

  thread/galleryslideshow.

- We want to revive the printed fractal calendar idea. So any submitter automatically accepts that his image will be used in the
  calender if it wins.
  (all money from the calendar goes into the further development of fractalforums.)

- After the winners are announced, the winning images will be presented in the 'gallery of fame' to honor the winners and their Art.
  The winning images are presented in this new gallery, which will grow to become a "best of" gallery:

- Post any questions, or suggestions you have here: https://fractalforums.org/fractal-image-of-the-month/70/fractal-image-of-the-month-discussion-thread/150

Please start admitting your best work now and most off all.... have Fun!

Big Bang

screwing around with mandelbrot peanuts   

Coleus

I call it "Snow on the Lyapunov Trees". Created with my own program. The sequence is bbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaa, a is in the range of [3.4975, 4] and b in [3.07, 3.4767]. Be aware that there is no standard, which coordinates a and b should be. If you try the parameters in another program, it might be possible that you have to flip a and b.

Period 1171 mini in Mandelbrot power 10.

Fractal made with the program Explorador FF www.fractfinder.es/en
This program continues improving with each new version.
Fractal type: Nova Julia Householder Inverse.
Title: Alien Cacti.
You can see a night version of this fractal (a different tweaked render) here: www.flickr.com/photos/julofi/43667255771

Lake Mandelbrot
rendered with Kalles Fraktaler, not much else to say about it

Mandelbrot mini with a carefully selected blend of herbs and spices, I mean colouring layers.

"Bushweed Corntrash" cubic Burning Ship auto skewed embedded Julia set
render in Kalles Fraktaler 2.13.9 pre-release took 13.5 hours at 16384x16384, downscaled in GIMP
(without glitch low tolerance active the render took 3 hours at 24576x24576 but the end result was bad)

2D Dodo bird

A fractal made with flam3 cross & mutate scripts with some help from the fr0st editor.

The only post-processing was in gimp to overlay the image on itself to pop the contrast.

The original image is rendered at 4000 x 3000 pixels... the one posted here is half that size with minimal compression.

Title - CHAOS CARNIVAL

Kaleidoscopic minibrot. Mandelbrot deep in the "butt" area. Rendered by Kalles Fraktaler

Cyber- Cobweb in space.

Made with Jux software

Mandelbulb3D, single formula: Asurfmod1

Created this using my translucent plastic coated speaker wire (gold and silver plastic).
k, OK it's really a render of part of the 3D "Bedouin" fractal which is a modified quaternion method.
