OK, click this link:

Now tell me which month is *your* favourit one. (I know what my answer 
is, but I'm curios to see what other people think...)

May.

BTW, nice sales tactic on your part. :-p

The front cover.

I'm guessing that your favorite is either the front cover (that's why 
it's on the front), or the month of your birthday (that's why you put it 
there).

  IMO you should have worked more on the palettes, and perhaps also
the locations of the zooms. Something more like:

0;-D

No, seriously... What are the chances of selling a 2008 calender *now*? 
I just find it interesting that, for example, people are willing to pay 
*actual money* for what I consider to be some of my less impressive 
images. It seems that different people have really _wildly_ different 
ideas about which images are the good ones.

By using a calendar that only has 12 images, in a nicely clickable 
format, and with names that everybody can understand, it's easy to do a 
quick survey. So far nobody has cited any of my least favourit images as 
being the best, but we'll see. ;-)

This is the part I absolutely suck at. (You'll notice of course that 
every single image present uses one of FractInt's built-in colour presets.)

FractInt's primitive colour editing interface doesn't help much, but 
basically apart from using primary and secondary colours, I can never 
think of good colour combinations. (And, obviously, there are 3 primary 
and 3 secondary colours. Not too many possible combinations with only 6 
starting points...)

> and perhaps also the locations of the zooms.

Hmm... Well since a finished fractal image = position + colour, you're 
basically saying the entire thing sucks. ;-)

> Something more like:

See, now, I actually prefer my colour choices. (Yours all seem to 
alternate between black and a randomly-chosen colour. Looks suspiciously 
like one of the colouring algorithms from Xaos, actually.) I guess it's 
a matter of personal taste.

You seem to have done a better job of centering the images though. And 
some of the regions you found are quite unusual and interesting...

I like the back cover.

I don't think that he is. To any one who has played with Fractint your images
are great but to someone who has spent a lot of time deep zooming they do not
look unique. Not that, that is a criticism of your work. I've not seen much
about Fractint recently and I hope that you revive an interest in it.

BTW I always ended up using the default pallet. I like it.
