This is an instance of Triple Matchmaker performing above and beyond the call of duty, as there are four (count 'em, four) disconnected Julia shapes mixed together in this spacefilling bounty of detail:

1. The long, dark, branching shapes (associated to points near the "nose" of the Mandelbrot set/base of the spike)

2. The embroyonic dragons with their three-armed spirals (valley of one of the extreme north/south bulbs of the M-set)

3. The whitish starburst patterns outside of the trees with the dragon eggs (mouth of valley of period-four bulbs to northeast and southeast from the center of the M-set)

4. The coiled spirals that are somewhat subtle in the purplish background, plus the shapes of the eggs' shells -- look in the lower right corner for a spiral bumped up next to an egg shell and you will probably recognize a familiar shape, here rendered subtly (Elephant Valley).

(Anyone reminded of either The Matrix or Man Of Steel with those embryos in pods on trees shapes?)

Fantastic, everything fits together so well and there's the illusion of shadows. Great work

Thanks!
