[edit] Closeup of the Mandelbrot set

Original - The boundary of the Mandelbrot set is a famous example of a fractal.

Edit 1 - Adjusted colors with Photoshop to give likeness to former FP.

Reason
The old low-resolution .jpg [1] used to be a featured picture, but was delisted for having jpeg compression artifacts and being at a low resolution.

(Edit: I support Edit 1 instead as it has much better colors.) Gopher292 (talk) 23:30, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Support if there are other alternatives This is very encyclopedic, but I hate the colour. A few more alternatives? Dengero (talk) 23:34, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
    • Strong Support Since you gave the colours a nudge. Dengero (talk) 22:45, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
  • What are you supporting? There are no alternatives.
  • There are, don't you know you can change the colours? Dengero (talk) 23:41, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
  • I did heaps for my assignment when I was in high school. Like this. Dengero (talk) 23:43, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
  • neutralOppose this color map is much too dark, especially in the thumbnail. de Bivort 23:37, 10 February 2008 (UTC) Red is much nicer, but there are some aliasing issues in the detailed parts, and I'm nots sure how we should think about promoting an arbitrary number of mandelbrot views. de Bivort 23:32, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose. A much better version of the Mandelbrot set is already featured. - Goodmanjaz (talk) 16:03, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
    • The red is nicer, but I still think the other set is much better. - Goodmanjaz (talk) 17:59, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose per above. Clegs (talk) 23:10, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Support Edit 1 Turned it red. Much easier to see than the original. We already have an FP of the Mandelbrot set but this fulfills the criteria as well. Reguiieee (talk) 20:16, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Support Edit 1 Love the new colours. --Joopercoopers (talk) 14:52, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Question, is that much blank space neccesary, or is there a way to manipulate it so that the subject fills more of the image?D-rew (talk) 18:30, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
    • The Mandelbrot set is just numbers, infinite numbers ploted on the graph. Except that the numebrs follow a certain pattern again and again smaller and smaller. So the blank spots are probably one big bandelbrot set, or we are looking at the set near its edges (1 if my memory serves me right). Dengero (talk) 00:00, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose. As I recall we covered the Mandelbrot set on FPC with an illustrative series not so long ago. Pstuart84 Talk 19:00, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Support edit 1 The new colors are better; the red helps show detail a little better. SpencerT♦C 20:45, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose Every pixel is a different color. There's no way to make out the form and flow of the really small bits. And yes, the featured set that we already have is superior. Not that we can't have more, but because they set the bar real (really really) high.--HereToHelp (talk to me) 20:52, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
