Fractals - Part 2

Following up from my [previous fractals post](https://steemit.com/beauty/@randomgenerator/fractals-using-mathematics-as-a-generator-of-art-and-beauty), I thought I'd share some more. I hope you find them as fascinating as I do!

---

Let's start with one that has a lot of common features among fractals: Lots of self-symmetry and contrasting colours to bring out the details, but also some asymmetry and a smooth flow of changing colours in much of it, keeping the detail in the features easy to discern.

---

Now onto some more that feature the very common spiral more prominently.

That last one is particularly stunning, I think, showing lots of self-symmetry, with the strongly contrasting central reds and cyans in the periphery making it really stand out!

---

And these, although not what you might call spirals, do have a strong central feature that grabs your attention, with interesting areas of detail that surround it to give it a nice finish.

![2003-06-28-001.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdD142TyDrRUaVd1MNisPDFeXjsoyH4i9WXaPpNw7bbgL/2003-06-28-001.jpg)

Finally, a few more unique ones that I don't think really belong in any of the above categories, but have some wonderfully unique qualities among them that make them worth sharing...

This first one reminds me of a Persian carpet, with its intricate detail throughout. A lot of small details that make it a great sight on the whole.

![2003-11-21-004.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbWCnZeHCQoExuULX5jqyjYhWNRvVi8sjPZHXwR8fvQiy/2003-11-21-004.jpg)

This next one has some spiral features and what appears to be a central point of focus, but the large colour-modifying band that made its way across the right side really gives it an interesting asymmetry.

![2004-03-13-002.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmULPmhk39eumWPGQdeLg8n8D94Wanbo1oifiBsMqa71mj/2004-03-13-002.jpg)

In this one, I find the colours really complement each other very well. The deep blues and calm oranges, with a strong interjection of greens and some deep pinks. For some reason this one really reminds me of a sunny tropical island, with lots of nice beach and palm trees, surrounded by deep blue waters.

![2004-08-26-005.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQsAmY24L4YPVfZD5EL1qP1vNoxgrtQyqtwhxJ5qPoQYn/2004-08-26-005.jpg)

Here's one that reminds me of some kind of galactic object. A central "disk" like object with lots of colour swirling around amongst a deep red backdrop.

![2004-11-16-006.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUhhhjgjNnmgwxvt1ZeriHx77EsyFWr3mr9SzsPpNSpjv/2004-11-16-006.jpg)

And finally, here's one that while it obviously could be placed into the spiral category, it has a unique asymmetry that I believe puts it into a category of its own. Two different key spirals, standing back-to-back, almost like a fancy wood carving with incredible detail.

![2010-02-01-001.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQma4uBnwqKuKbBhKQNfWnkx6ezRFX6GyU93vV6z8Cm2BDu/2010-02-01-001.png)
