Description Who doesn't love a good oxymoron in the title?

This was just an experiment to see what would happen if I tried to make a 2D bloom 3D.  The result is a little strange, but I'll admit I'm rather proud of it.    I like how the fairly calm and orderly outside progressively falls apart into icy chaos in the center.  That's what happens when you are completely incompetent with 3D variations!  

An Apophysis 7x fractal, with slight color modifications in GIMP.  As with all my fractals, I highly recommend you zoom in for the best viewing experience.

EDIT:  Some small changes made--increased saturation and contrast--thanks to the ever-helpful (and rather poetic) advice of ThoughtWeaver .

I concur, this design turned out well! I cannot say that I enjoy the red hue in this, for it lacks uniqueness or vibrancy, but you have done well overall. Excellent job!

You added more red-ness. Indeed, that is better.
