Wow! I don't really see the fractals in this, but it is stunning! Really surreal! I love the colors and the textures. A job well done!

I saw your thread about getting a 7 and so I thought rather than comment in that thread I would on this photo instead. I gave you a 7 I remember hesitating on this photo for a minute, I liked it I wanted to give it an 8 but just something was missing. What it is for me is the eyes. For me it is the most important part of the image, I don't necessarily mind that there are no catch lights but they are dark. The light hits his nose and cheeks and then fades from there. I don't think you wanted the nose to be the first thing someone looks at when they view this photo. So you needed to find some way to get more light into the eyes, either by lighting or by editing.

At any rate if you would like a 7 sometimes feedback is helpful before submitting an image. You may already be a part of a group. But if you would like feedback I am available most of the time.

Such seriousness! and great processing. It may be my monitor but you found the sweet spot for the right amount of "blue" tones in the black and white.

haha I had "too much" catch-lights. So I guess you and I have the ends of the spectrum covered? :)

He's a good looking boy. Love those eyes!

I edged you by one place. Blow it up and hang it. It's an excellent shot.

Not what I would expect in a nursery rhyme challenge where light and fanciful come to mind first off, but the mood here suits the title and the title fits the challenge and I love the grain and slight blur. Nicely done. Voted earlier.
