Mandelbrot in Seahorse Valley with distance estimator coloring. Points less than a pixel from the boundary of the set have a grey applied that depends logarithmically on the distance, effectively (and cheaply!) faking a much higher degree of antialias than was actually used.

Thanks! There was a discussion here about that trick with DE, to reproduce the look of the BOF images without huge (10,000x10,000+) pixel resolutions, so I thought I'd post a sample. :)

You chose a perfect example to show off the technique, it is mesmerizing.
