Pretty sweet, sir. Those're MacBook screen dimensions, I believe. I do have a couple of criticsms of this piece. The forms and iterations are awesome, as seems to be your trademark, but the colour palette is somewhat narrower than you usually work with. I think it needs a small amount of a third tone to really make it pop.
And as has been mentioned, the text could be darker and less starkly there. Since you're working with Elements, I'm not sure what kind of blending options you have available to you, but were I doing this I would make the text black and put an Outer Glow of a shade taken directly from the image around it. You'd be amazed how well that can help integrate text into an image. It's also sometimes fun if you rasterize the text layer after and apply a Motion or Gaussian blur to it, but that can create readability problems.
Anyway, this is a pretty fine image no matter how you look at it

I have yet to find that function, but I appreciate the critique very much
I applied a kind of filter to it -- does it look much better?
Yes, the colours are more limited than usual, but many gradients did not agree with the fractal, and plus I was going for more shape than colour anyways
Thanks so much for your thoughts; I always love getting in-depth reviews
