EDIT: 03/15/2010 Took some suggestions. Toned down the lens flair bigtime. Worked on the title text a bit. Fun stuff! Thanks for looking!

Made with Ultra Fractal 5.04 with some post processing done in Photoshop CS5. Post processing consisted of lens flare, text and some color and lighting filters all performed by various PS plug-ins.

This is for my homework for Misha's UF Basic Theory (click to download transcript)
class that he is doing for us in the Fractal Mentor Project For this assignment we selected an image from Misha's gallery and emulated what we saw were the new skills that we learned in our last class, as they were represented in that particular image. The wonderful image I selected to, 'copy' was:

... of someone innocent

I selected this image because I like how the placement of the spiral reflects the golden ratio as well as rule of thirds. We also learned about using complementary colors which I have done in this image with blue and yellow-orange, and reddish tones with cyan tones.

Because this is a homework assignment, I would seriously appreciate anyone who would be willing to give me some constructive criticism. I would gladly return the favor if you would like me to! If you can't, don't worry, I appreciate the fact that you just stopped by to take a look. ;D Have a great day!
