Very impressive. Good color scheme. I feel that when you have colors that are separated, such as green and red being separated by yellow, that if you put a hint of the middle color into the outside colors the harmony is much improved. In this case, (intentionally?) that is just what you have done. The red is leaning toward orange and the green has a tinge of yellow, plus the goldish/yellow banding ties it all together. Very nice. Excellent gradient work.
The beauty of understanding masking is that the possibilities truly become endless, no?
My only problem with this is that the spiral is off center. Just a personal thing with me. If it was off by a third, for example, it would look like there was more intent. With it just being slightly off center, to me it gives the impression of...hmmm...how to say it...missed detail?
But I know you work strongly on composing within the four sides, and this does balance well, so what the hell am I talking about?!!!
All-around excellent image.

Thanks for the review/critique. To respond: I've been working/playing with color in one way or another most of my life, but never as formally as your analysis. I've colored, sewn, photographed and quilted using color. My use of color and what looks and feels right to me is more intuitive than intentional. If I get it right by formal standards, credit my eye rather than a conscious decision based on a set of rules. I know things such as when working within a tonal value, anything outside of that value will look wrong. That drove my initial color/tonal decisions in this image. I suppose I could decipher my eyes' choices if I really tried, but it doesn't interest me to analyze my color work to that degree. If it works for me, that's all that matters to me.
Yes, masking is opening up worlds of possibilities.
I tried this image perfectly centered and it looks more off than you might believe. It becomes terribly unbalanced visually and I kept moving my head to the left to see the image better. This is the most pleasing configuration to my eye. Thanks for giving me the compositional credit, so to speak.
I very much appreciate the lengthy comment. I want to hear what people have to say about an image like this, something that I consider to be more serious than most of my images. I worked on this.

Definately on the right track, keep up the good work. I'd probably have featured this one if I would have waited.

This hopalong formula really seems to have endless possibilities. If ever you need a new nick name for somewhere use hopalong for luck
This again is so different from the rest and I like it just as much as the rest

Thank you! I can't find the end of the possibilities with this formula...it just goes on and on and on...

It's consoling to hear that there is such a thing as "everlasting" 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't believe in 'everlasting' but I believe in a long time...and I have nothing but time for now.

Time is a good thing to have. Hopefully you can fill it with lot's of pleasant things.

Yes. This is what we should all hope to do.

If it goes on in this tempo, I see you as the new star in the sky of the Fraktal world.
I see no confusion; I see a very well thought-out and very well composed image.
The masking and the texturing+colouring is wonderful. What can I say?

You're a silly woman, Denise! I'm still very new to masking and know little. I'm just playing around with the technique.
I very much appreciate the compliments and the

NO!!! sweetheart, I mean this honest and serious.
Your tempo is incredible and you have a good feeling for colors, for composing,
you're intelligent and talented. The only way is to the top.

That's so nice of you! I don't take it seriously enough to do much more than I'm doing. It's a hobby, that's all. It's a way to play and create and use color. I LOVE color!

Yes I know it's a hobby, also for me. But I would like to learn it, nevertheless, seriously to be able that to express
what I would like to express sometime. Till present it is rather backwards. I take what comes and try to do something
good from it. Sometime I would like to be able to use UF how earlier my paintbrushes or today my camera.

Yes, that makes sense. I do need to learn more and I would also like to gain more control.

Wow! I love how you were able to "texture" this. That's one advantage over Apophysis

Wow...thanks for the complimentary comment! I'm so happy you like this! I AM new to masking...only been playing with it for a few weeks. I like it and have been playing with it quite a lot, so maybe I'm learning.

It is far from too busy, darlin! The soft, subtle greens work well with the bolder, brassy tones. If the green were a brigher hue or a more flashy color it might have been too much, but your choice of gradient was perfect. You really are coming a long way with your masking, it is showing. You are learning. Quite rapidly too I might add hehe

The colours immediately made me think of autumn, and this reminds me of the confusion of leaves and such you find on a windy day. Except someone/thing (maybe one of those elusive housework fairies?

Too bad one of the little darlin's can't run on over to my place and bring order by anchoring a dust bunny or two...
