UltraFractal 5.01 my first attempt at making gems ! with jewel flowers, obviously !
Dedicated to my dear friend =Jimpan1973 who taught me how to make gems, and always supports me and checks my UF params ! Thank you so much Jimmie, you're such a wonderful artist, teacher and friend !
This is an amazing piece. The flower shapes are varied enough to provide a lot of interest. The pearls are sheer genius; I especially love the variation in size. The metallics are perfect. You did a fabulous job with the bevels, textures and shadows. I also really like the colors.
As this is a critique and as much as I love this fractal, I do have a couple suggestions. The first is the highlighting of the gems is perhaps a bit too bright in a couple places. The background is wonderful; I am very fond of checkerboards and I like that you overlaid the larger green squares on the the blue and white. However, I think you could have aligned them with the framing to make them more centered. It is easy to overlook a small detail when working on something as complex as this.
thank you very much ! I haven't made new gems fractals, now that I think about it... I should give it another try ! =Jimpan1973 is the gem master here, and a wonderful teacher !
You should give it another try! If I had UF I would be trying myself but as it doesn't work on a Mac I must be content with seeing what everyone else does, so get cracking! LOL

Overall, this is an A+.
