JIPPIE !!!! :-) Oh, this is overwhelming... Yes, I saw the results coming in, and I was already very surprised. Oh, this is so nice for my ego :-)

Congrats to all the winners.

...the "Pole Dancing Fractal" was created with a formulaplay of my own :-)

Years ago, my mathteacher refused to let me take part of a computer course (optional on school). It was "a waste of his time and of mine". I was really, really a bad mathstudent, but I was very interested in the computer. But no... I wasn't allowed in that class.

One of the first things I did when my husband bought a computer, was looking for fractalprograms :-) My first program was Fractint. I have never understood the math behind it, but I learned to use words like "abs", "recip", "tan", and so on, and numbers. I only looked for hours what was changed when I changed a word or a number. I was immediately fascinated.

No, I still don't understand math, but nevertheless I can play with it. ...and now I can create nice looking images.

I say thank you for rating my Fractals & the wild creation -

Margit

At first, Titia, please receive my congratulations for the absolute first place, and of course for every contestants for a lot of nice pictures.

Especially thanks for everybody for the ratings.

I'd like to say a big Thanks to Trifox for the havy work during the contest.

In my enthusiasm, I forgot both to thank Trifox for hosting the compo and forum,
plus thank everyone who rated and commented on my pieces!  This was my first true
compo, and it was a lot of fun.  Hope to do it again next year!
