•  Comment What's with all that black? The problem with this is that the close-up details are far more beautiful than the whole image and extremely few people can see this image at full size all at once. I don't know what to make of it. --Cart (talk) 19:41, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose It is a nice inverted rendering of the Mandelbrot set but as Cart says, there is more beauty in close-ups and even if I use the zoom viewer, I can't actually zoom very far. There are lots of ways of rendering the set and hard to prefer one over another, though I do prefer it black in the middle rather than this inverted way. This sort of thing is probably best viewed interactively rather than one person's static visualisation of the whole set.

As an aside, I wrote a program to draw the set in groovy colours about 35 years ago. To speed things up I calculated the outline of a square and if that was all black, didn't bother with the middle. Then divided the square into four and repeated. Still took hours but I got some lovely pictures, and this was the coolest thing in maths at the time. I bet there are lot more clever ways of doing this faster today with the latest graphics cards. -- Colin (talk) 20:19, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

•  Oppose Per Cart, interesting but there are better ways of visualising the Mandelbrot set nowadays. Cmao20 (talk) 06:48, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: Thank you for nominating this image, unfortunately it is going to be very challenging to overcome these five opposes and the reasons brought up by Cart and Colin. --Boothsift 01:59, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
