Description
Though leaves may drift from where they fall, we are all connected.I have seen a lot of people do fractal trees, here's my first attempt. I do not mean to necessarily imply "god" in this image/meaning, only whatever energy you feel "god" is--as it binds us all, whether we like it or not.
Enjoy!!

Wow... Oh yes, most definitely looks like a higher entity over-looking us meager mortals... absolutely Wonderful, Jacob. Marvelous. This piece is so serene, yet makes me feel SO small in the scheme of life.... you're amazingly talented dear. That's why i luv ya!

I am glad you get the feeling of a big scale and being a small part of it, that's what I was going for in how I composed it
Thank you for all your kind words Amanda

Very beautiful, and deep in a way, I don't know the fractal plus the explanation= deep feeling of awe! Great one again

he lay dying at the bottom of the tree
his last wish was to see his wife before he died
the tree did one better and gave him new life
and when he got home he found that she was carrying a child
the child was special but he wouldn't find out till after she was born
cool tree hun

Very beautiful - I think the colour is just right for the piece.

Thanks a lot, that is good to hear because I struggled a bit with the color!
Appreciate the favorite too, thank you

exellent light - nevertheless you should pay some more attention to composition - if it was not symetrical, it would be a straight fav!
otherwise - superb

Also just re-read this--I pay a lot of attention to composition, so that is a bit insulting. And I am always learning, changing, evolving.. it's a process. These pieces are never perfect though, and never will be.

sorry, my friend - it wasnยดt ment that way - read it again!

It's okay.. I was very tired when I replied!
What do you think of Celestial - [link] ?
Similar flame and asymmetrical

Thank you
The Juliascope transform I use for many effects make it symetrical.. not necessarily by my preference. But, the bottom is actually not symetrical (on purpose).. as is the actual tree.. I guess it's just too slight to notice in this case.
And with fractals, symmetry can often work well, even if it may not be to the taste of some

Oh wow,
....I am speechless.
I like this a lot..maybe its shiney or...is it the blue? I dont know but I just adore abstract art.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Thank you, glad you like this one
But it is not really abstract, there is an intended specific form (the tree).. even though you can see other things here

Your welcome.
Oh okay, I see..cool.
