Did you know that fractals do actually exist beyond computer programs like Apophysis and Ultra Fractal? They do, and have been since the beginning of pretty much anything.
This competition is an idea Ive had for a bit, but just now I got off my lazy egoriffic arse to post it up.
What this competition will involve is you taking a
photo of a fractal that you see in the real world. It can be either types of executions:
Natural
-This is a fractal that is found in the natural world, or one that just occurs naturally.
Examples: Romanesco Broccoli, blood vessels (please no nude if you choose this way
)
Deliberate
-Get creative. Make your own fractals using simple or complex everyday tools.
Examples: cracked glass, lightning photography.
Heres the fractal page on Wikipedia if you want the definition or more examples. I encourage you to use it!!
Rules: 
Must be photography (photo touch-ups are allowed, but not the extent that they become manip works)

No mature content

Must be completely your own photos

The works must be made and submitted from the date this was posted and onwards

Prizes!!


1st place:

3 month subscription or DAshop product/print of same or less pricing
Feature on my user page

2nd place:

1 month subscription or DAshop product/print of same or less pricing
Feature on my user page

3rd place:

Feature on my user page
(If anyone wants to donate prizes or journal/userpage features, please note me)

Deadline is 20th of May 09. ALL SUBMISSIONS are to be noted to me with "Fractals Around Us Comp" in the subject line.

I will judge the pieces on creativity and execution of the idea. Anyone else is welcomed to judge pieces with me (note me please), but they will not be allowed to enter the comp themselves.
Get creating/hunting and have fun!!
