I've got 3 versions of this now. Which do you like best?

Hi Dinkydau!

The third one gives me the impression of awesome depths - :o - although i like the fist colors best. Is there a way to get the colors darker in the depth?

agreed. the colours of no.1 and the contrast of no.3

Thanks. It's not difficult to make that. I've opened the 3rd in photoshop and added the 1st two times, first with blending mode color, then with saturation, to keep the contrast while still having the brown colors. This is the result:

I'm pretty satisfied with the result. The 3rd version felt a little too chaotic with all those colors. This seems more balanced.

very nice. I'd still make a wee bit lighter overall, but i haven't properly calibrated my monitor, so that could be an issue on my side :)

I was considering that, also to reduce the effect of the color overlay a little bit and keep something of the original colors in the fractal. Instead I've added a darken layer and more brightness.

I can tweak for days with images like that.
Last one is certainly the best till now! Very nice!
