I think this is a pretty good example of fractals

Maybe, but only because the center is split in half, with more layers inside them. In a perfect fractal, each of those two central splits should have splits inside them, and so on and so forth.

We have been referring to the environment when it comes to fractals. What about man-made objects.. Would they be considered valid for this challenge too?

yes.

I still think that the onion rings fulfil the conditions of fractals.. Similar patterns appear at progressively smaller scales

it fits better than Hahn23's flower. :)

You'll have to convince me that its a fractal. By my working definition, I'm not sure it is.


I'm pretty sure it isn't. While the flower itself may have fractal and/or fibonacci qualities, they are not the subject of the photo. To ace the challenge, IMO, the fractal qualities of the subject must be the obvious subject of the photo.

Not MY flower.

Certainly, here's what I would consider a good example:

Probably the closest of my old entries.

sorry, you posted the image, i thought it was yours.

I'm so confused but I entered anyway. Not expecting much from it but pushing to hit 200 entries.
 08/18/2012 06:22:03 PM · #63
Wow, with all this discussion pre-voting about what does or what does not constitute an acceptable fractal image, I hesitate to even enter. Everyone seems so absolutely sure about what they will DNMC that it seems to leave very little wiggle room or even a chance for those images that are more creative and aren't 'slap you in the face' fractals.

Yep I'm with you Pam... although I have decided to enter, I'm not a mathematician and I'm scared about whether or not my image is technically a fractal...

Yes, very little wiggle room because of narrow mindedness, we are but a fractal of our world :)

More to read

And another with vertiginous mathematics. Scroll to the conclusion. . . I thought it was funny.

I tried to read. One would say: I can't read Chinese!

Well, I can read (some) Chinese but the links above made no sense for me. But I will try my best to enter the challenge. I'll go out, search, and if it's repeating or is a bunch of similar things that are seemingly repeating I will shoot it.

Yee Hwa! I love math!

I don't speak Po-mo... that link was awash with it.

Heh. I ran into that one yesterday and was regretting that I have no plane trips in my immediate future! Some of those aerial shots are very cool.

I have an image I am thinking of entering. However, I suspect that I might as well title it DNMC.
 08/21/2012 04:09:13 PM · #73
I'm in. I spent enough time trying to find something that meets the challenge; might as well see if I did ;-)

I like it. It's borderline fractal, but I think it's probably close enough, despite lacking evident order.

In terms of fractals, I'd give this a 1 for DNMC.
