This zoom is near the Autumn Forest zoom. However, the area zoomed into is around a seahorse below and to the right of the green period-3 blob in Autumn Forest I. Out here, the "zero basin" doesn't exist -- there is no zero attractor at all. Where that happens, the basin implodes into a disconnected Julia set, which the surrounding seahorse shapes still try to conform to, with amazingly convoluted results!

Images in this series have mostly been rendered at 32000x24000 and downsampled for a whopping 625 samples per pixel, needed to render the "zero basin Julia" regions properly. I was able, nonetheless, to render most of them in under two hours.
