Hi!

Here's my try at a photorealistic picture with a julia fractal. I made some
slight color modifications in photoshop.
Rendering time : around 2 hours.

Comments? Critics?

I like the mood it creates, and I have always been fascinated by Julias. 
But your Image seems to be a bit grainy. Perhaps higher focal blur 
settings could help?

Tri-X in HC-100 gives such a result.

But where do the rings above Julia come from?

Beautiful -- I love the image, and I love the grain as well! Have you
thought about putting it on a site like ArtSIG?

Ok, so what exactly are you talking about? Some photography internals, I 
guess?

Very fast kodak B/W film developed in a rather harsh developer.  Looks like
printing on gravel instead of paper.  Can be interesting when the effect
works.

Oh no ! :-))
Keep it grainy. It makes it less "synthetic"...

They appeared after I boosted the contrasts and added a bit of grain in
photoshop.
On my screen, they are not too pronounced, maybe they are more on your's.
But I don't like them, any idea how to avoid them?

Thanks a lot! I have always loved grain too. I think it adds a lot of
realism.
What's ArtSIG?

Anyway, I did another render with less grainy focal blur, maybe not enough
though.
Maybe in between would be better?
What do you think?

It looks as though there is not only less grain, there is also less
focal blur.

I far prefer the first one. Not even in between, just plain the first
one...

Isn't it lightning form light source on some object ? See:

  camera{location 0 direction z}
  plane{ z 4 pigment{rgb 1}}
  light_source{z rgb 1}

I much prefer this one. I think the blur was overdone in your
previous one.

Those rings in the background look like what you sometimes get when
colour reducing, or converting to grayscale.

I dunno... the first had a much more artistic and photo-like feel.  The
second might be more photo-realistic, but it's lacking some of the
impression or mystique of the first.

Would you mind posting the code for the julia?  I'm trying to experiment
with them, and I really like the sort of warped, "ringy" look you've got
going on there.

Thanks!
Frank

Ya, the first one seems more dynamic, like if it was moving and the blur was
motion blur.
Neverthless, when I posted a similar image on another art forum, people said
that there was way too much blur, they thought I missed the "shot" (or
render...) : they said "it's really bad dof (depth of field) ".
So, I really don't know what to choose and what are the criterias for a good
macro photo/render.
