Entry for the critique challenge held by CRFractals for the Fractal Week at projecteducate
This is my first critique on DA, so here goes!
I chose this piece to critique as, of those included in the critique challenge, it was the one that immediately caught my eye and that I found it to be aesthetically pleasing, with its quite formal, but fascinating, fractal "bloom".
Although there are many fractal blooms posted here on DA, this is one of the softer, prettier ones that I've seen e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/>
The combination of opposing warm golden-browns and cool blues work well together to give an overall calm and soothing feel. The increasing intensity of the blue around the centre draws the eye in to observe the floral detail; the two blue areas on the left, though, are slightly distracting - as highlights they would maybe work better using the brown tones, rather than blue.
The centre of the flower is more in focus that the outer areas, which again draws the eye to the more intricate and detailed area, which is good. However, the very centre - the bright white area - could perhaps have a little more definition or detail to it, possibly using the complimentary golden hues again.
The texturing is very good, giving the composition really quite a natural and organic feel.
The slightly off-centre framing works well, although the left hand area is perhaps a tiny bit too dominant; making the width slightly smaller, while keeping the height the same would perhaps keep the attention focussed on the more interesting 'flower' part of the composition.
The little spotty lighting effects are cool, and add additional interest. They make me wonder where this flower is located!
Overall, this is a very lovely fractal, and the points made above are really only very minor suggestions e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/>

the texturing and the shape are amazing, especially the petals that are very organic. The colors draw the eye towards the center but I find they are a bit too desatured. The colors give me a feeling of autumn and nostalgia.

Very beautiful.Β I like how the colours change and how it goes from light to dark.Β It also looks as if the bloom releases little sparks which is nice.Β Β
