Predator or Mom? You decide.

I did some post-processing.  Did the DOF with photoshop using z-buffer layer.  Also used z-buffer to cut out the "lizard" and color it.  It was the same color as the other stuff, and I didn't actually see the lizard until after I had rendered the frame in hi-res 1600x1200.  Then I was like, hey, a chameleon!  But, I wanted it to stand out some more so other people would notice it, so I colored it.  But, it was in there I swear!
1600x1200 version is here:

I've never seen anything like it.  That's really cool.  Care to post the params?

Care to post the params?

Sure!  This is almost the exact same formula as one of Jesse's that he had posted... although the name of his artwork is escaping me right now.  I just lowered the scale by .05 on the amazing box part of the formula, then flew around and found this!  But, there is surely a lot more exploring of this one yet to do...
