Hmm, this fractal has some of the same beginner gradient and layering stuff that I talked about on my comment to "Burning Altar." I won't repeat all the lengthy advice but I thought I'd just point it out.
Two things I notice with this fractal:
1. Jpeg artifacts. I can especially see them around the detailed "flecks" and at the edges of the red circle. They are distracting. I know high quality renders have larger file sizes, but it is worth it to show your fractal off as best as you can.
2. Bilateral symmetry. When I was browsing your gallery, I noticed that you used bilateral symmetry in almost every image, actually. Now, I'm not saying to avoid it altogether... it *can* be done well, but... I really think you should branch out. Try to find some information on composition online. Strict symmetry (also known as "formal balance") often makes an image look heavy and static, weighing down the movement created by the lines. Asymmetrical compositions, on the other hand (known as "informal balance") are in general very dynamic, encouraging the eye to move around the page/canvas/whatever. Try starting with the Rule of Thirds, which I'm sure you can find a lot of information about by googling.
