Description Now that's better than the previous works !

Advance critique very welcome, as I'd really like hearing some feedback on this piece that I think maybe my best Ultrafractal until now (?).

Beautifully done.

The Pythagoras Tree is one of my favourites to "play" with. You've done a superb job.

A nice big render for my greedy cursor to traverse The crop and scale extract something new from this now-familiar parameter: landscape, horizon, trees, village, all bending to the spiral...

I have nothing to criticise about this. Its very pleasing to look at, and brings to mind an elaborate exterior banister of some stately home

A lovely, stately fractal. From your title I would guess you intended to suggest a surface and structures underneath, which would be why you cut off the right-hand edge, For me, that works very well.
Now, how am I going to fit this on my desktop?

Thank you very much !
If you really want a desktop wallpaper out of this, I'll be glad to make one

Thanks for the offer! The resolution of this image is big enough for my desktop though, thanks.

Very nice, Eric. Excellent usage of negative space, and a very nicely composed piece overall. The gradient really gives it that 'snow and ice' feel, so your title is really made more powerful through it.

If I had one critique (sorry), it would be that the one edge of this beautiful design is cut off on the right side - it kind of cuts off the flow of the piece (but that might just be me!).

I don't know if this is your best piece, but it certainly is one of my faves. Excellent job. A very memorable piece! Take care!!

Thank you very much!
For the right part, unfortunately - as ususally for fractals - there are some parts that I don't want to show . You may notice a bit of brown in the 'sky' right of the image, and of course it joins with the 'ground' in a spiral, which break the feeling. I'll have to try some masks here.

I can't give you advanced critique. I can just say that this is very nice to look at closeup.

My jaw dropped when i saw this..I agree with the comment above me for the most part.. But i do like the empty spaces at top and bottom...Makes it not so busy and just perfect..

Thank you very much !
I made spaces at top and bottom to make a less dense feeling, but I may add some (little) details there (as I answered the previous comment )

Wow. I think you're right about this being the best one. Since you asked for a critique, here's some of the things I noticed:
-The outside edge gives a very good 3D effect, kind of like looking at a planet
-The spiral offsets the geometry of the piece quite nicely, and leads the eye to take in the whole picture
-The addition of the brown and red hues is a good mix with the blues and whites.
-The only thing that seemed a little off was the top and bottom of the piece; it seems a little empty as compared to the rest. Perhaps zooming in and cropping the top and bottom a little would make it a little better

But all in all, I really like this one! Awesome job! I hope my critique helps a little. I always like when others can give me an idea as to how my work feels.

Thank you very much for your answer.
For the top and bottom, I added some space to avoid a very 'dense' fractal, made me feel more landscape/quiet/snowy. but I also though of adding some little details like moon and something on floor, so I may evolve it.
