; 
; FOTD -- September 20, 2011 (Rating 8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image has claimed to be the best of all time.  That's 
; the impression I had when the name "I am the Champion" came to 
; mind.
; 
; The rating of an 8 is well above average.  It's nearly of 
; championship caliber, but then so is the team that loses the 
; championship game.
; 
; The parent fractal came about when I subtracted 1.1 parts of 
; (1/Z) from 1.1 parts of straight Z then added (1/C) on every 
; iteration.  These parameters are pure whimsy; the resulting 
; image is not.
; 
; The parameters produce a very distorted Mandelbrot set with its 
; incredibly shrunken main bud and spike pointing south and its 
; grossly overblown East Valley on the north side.  Today's scene 
; is located in a minor sub-bud on the west shore line of the main 
; bay.  (The distortion of the parent fractal may be increased or 
; reduced by tweaking the parameters.)
; 
; To achieve the final effect, I used a very broad color palette 
; on the outer parts of the image and a random palette on the 
; inner parts.  The prominent minibrot at the center lacks total 
; definition.  An increase in the maxiter will increase the 
; definition of the minibrot but will also spoil the coloring.
; 
; The calculation time of 4-1/3 minutes is slightly slow, but at 
; least in my opinion, the image is worth it.
; 
; Those who would rather avoid calculation may view the finished 
; image on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; The image is available in glorious high definition at:
; 
; <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>
; 
; The original web site may be accessed at:
; 
;       <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; Clouds and a few showers made today less than perfect here at 
; Fractal Central, while the fractal cats said the temperature of 
; 72F 22C was near perfect.  The humans had too many other things 
; to concern themselves with than to worry about a few showers.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take 
; care, and there are only 458 days remaining until the world 
; comes to an end.  (Maybe I'll start a doomsday countdown clock.)
