"Best picture of the year" elections
Hello everyone! We are having our annual "best picture of the year." This year, we are including two categories: Mandelbrot Set and Ai images.
NOTE: Please click on each image to view it fullscreen
Here are our top Mandelbrot Images:
First, a Thousand Golden Lights
Third, Woodland Majesty.
Fourth, Elephants
Fifth, Crystal Palace
Sixth, Carpet
Seventh, Mini Mandelbrot
Eight, Nautilus
Ninth, An unexpected treat
Tenth, Fractal Repetitions
These are the best Mandelbrot Images we have so far. Next up, the AI images.
First, the Fight with a Hyena
Third, the Waterfall's Throne
This was a series of Waterfall's Throne images, and are ranked together.
Fourth, the Serpent-mage series
Fifth, the Torrents of Darkness
Sixth, the Lenderthrond series
Seventh, the Phoenix Series
Eight, and Finally, Cherrywood Hickory
Here is your assignment: Rank the Mandelbrot Images numerically (for example, 2, 3, 1, and 5) and then rank the Ai images numerically (for example, 3, 5, 2, and so on). Keep in mind that ai series are counted as one.
We will do the calculations and eventually come out with the top three images (or image series) from both the Mandelbrot Set and the Ai images. You may give a reason for your choice, but it is optional.
Honorable mention: Porcupine's artifacts

I prefer dramatic images. Mandelbrot Set images are not according to my taste. But here are my favorite ai images:
ReplyDelete1. Serpent-mage series.
2. Waterfall's Throne
3. Cherrywood Hickory
4. Torrents of Darkness (quite dramatic indeed!)
5. Cool Forest
By the way, what about our profile pictures? Those were simply stunning, especially mine. Better than all of these combined.
Another question: what about Porcupine's Book? It should get an honorable mention. Here's the link: https://www.bing.com/images/create/a-realistic-picture-of-a-rustic-group-of-artifacts/1-6775ef5a019048e69a9a6a373995d1f9?id=RBhtyQCVh1FC8FwRdQk93g%3d%3d&view=detailv2&idpp=genimg&thId=OIG1.5DKJVBgezALbbql_A4Nj&skey=Cet9NackWlroc3LCk76d-C09Y28l82q6TxXeACcsiR8&FORM=GCRIDP&ajaxhist=0&ajaxserp=0
The Fight with the Hyena was way more dramatic.
DeleteFalse. The Fight with a Hyena was a child's picture. Whimsical, but not interesting.
Deletethat's what trolls say. The Fight with the Hyena was so great, and so magnificent, that I stared at it for hours before I could take my eyes off of it.
DeleteThe foreground, the background, the lighting, the way they elevated Omnivorous Mice and Hedgehogs over those nasty scavenging Hyenas, and so much more.
It was truly beautiful.
You stared at it for hours? It was only up for a single hour. You are being ridiculous
DeleteI have a copy in my house, and I often stare at it for hours.

DeleteTROLL
well I am cutting the my Ai rankings into half 4 top ones for bottom ones the Fight with the hyena is in the top 4 NOT the bottom four.
DeleteNone of these images are done well. Except for one: The Fight with the Hyena. Everything else was fabricated. The Fight with the Hyena is the only real one.
ReplyDeleteYou are the Expert of all Experts. Smart fellow. Your IQ is probably above 160. Not like those idiologists, who are total TROLLS
DeleteWon't participate in Mandelbrot Images
ReplyDeleteBest ai images:

Honorable mention: Porcupine's book. Here is the link: "https://www.bing.com/images/create/a-realistic-picture-of-a-rustic-group-of-artifacts/1-6775ef5a019048e69a9a6a373995d1f9?id=RBhtyQCVh1FC8FwRdQk93g%3d%3d&view=detailv2&idpp=genimg&thId=OIG1.5DKJVBgezALbbql_A4Nj&skey=Cet9NackWlroc3LCk76d-C09Y28l82q6TxXeACcsiR8&FORM=GCRIDP&ajaxhist=0&ajaxserp=0"
YOU are a TROLL
DeleteNow see here, Monkey. You're quite ridiculous some. Everybody that I've ever seen in these here parts knows that trolls are those that call them respectables trolls. You're a troll, and ain't none here that has been brave enough to say it.
DeleteI'll vote for the Golden Tapestry first place, the Thousand Golden Lights second, and the Fractal Repetitions third.
ReplyDeleteAi images: first the Fight with the Hyena, then the Phoenix, then the Waterfall's Throne.
You are a sensible fellow. You know that the Fight with the Hyena is the BEST PICTURE EVER, with no other coming even close.
DeleteI really like vacation sites so because of that I will not do Mandelbrot set
ReplyDeleteRanking:
1. Waterfalls Throne
2. Lenderthrond
3. Phoenix
4. Cherrywood Hickory
Last of all, Serpent-mage. I definitely don't want to vacation there!
The FIGHT WITH THE HYENA is the BEST IMAGE EVER. If you DISAGREE, you are a TROLL
DeleteThe ONLY GOOD ONES are these ones:
ReplyDelete1. The Fight with the Hyena. This is the ABSOLUTE BEST. If you DISAGREE, you are a TROLL. Only a TROLL would DISAGREE
2. Waterfall's Throne. This is ok.
3. Cool forest. I like this one.
4. Phoenix. Kind of nice.
BUT NONE OF THEM COMPARE TO THE FIGHT WITH THE HYENA!!!!!!
Next, the Mandelbrot Set images. There are nowhere near as good as the Fight with the Hyena. Here they are, ranked:
1. Woodland Majesty
2. A thousand golden lights
3. An unexpected treat
4. Elephants
Again, let me make sure everyone knows: the FIGHT WITH THE HYENA is the BEST picture EVER. DO NOT GIVE ANY OTHER PICTURES FIRST PLACE!
You have been warned.
I think that some are far better than others. Here is my ranking:
ReplyDeleteMandelbrot images:
1. Mini Mandelbrot (controversial choice)
2. Elephants
3. An unexpected treat
4. Crystal palace
5. Nautilus
6. Woodland Majesty
7. Fractal repetitions
I think that there should be several honorable mentions:
a. Both versions of the The Green Nautilus. Here are the links: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ahru9S35qnPZViaSSV7FWihFBNusEbFJ/view?usp=sharing,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Lgsat-k3wVDYyAKFOWrRlRlmrJYt2USS/view?usp=sharing
b. Everlastingly cold advance. Here's the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kM9SbletrHNMnIrMPBlM2y567bSKN4Ng/view?usp=sharing
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X9bOiyUZF6Culgov9f5WA3d853RwLjoj/view?usp=sharing
Now that I have done the Mandelbrot Photos, let me move on and do the Ai generated images.
1. Waterfall's Throne. This might be controversial, but they have some really good images there.
2. Serpent-mages. These were very well done.
3. Porcupine's artifacts. These should have been displayed prominently.
4. Dolphins. These definitely deserve a far better position. Here's the link: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM6ZMVx_y5gShlTuxwEWNjWL5YzzAiwZ9su11dcoSTEFBpoXIQ3ygPolaK9zCKQCu2BLuc8E1zDfZUDrCyrkcYXdmyt1l_Ueqt0kkvo0mZMeMLSJd6bcEZq_pMPJk0cY1w0BgGZ2j9EuWNNYhpZoRrB3-Uh68L-d45d5ZrtXM5IG9RVQ/s1600/Fantasy%20dolphin%20knights.webp
here is a second link:

anyway, continuing on:
5. The Fight with the Hyena. Great picture in every way. Should be ranked higher, but it has astonishing competition.
6. Phoenix. Great, great, great photos, I am actually considering ranking them above the Fight with the Hyena
7. Cherrywood Hickory. The Duke is exactly right, and it quite an accurate portrayal of the Duke of Caltheroy and Cherrywood Hickory, and the other images are quite artistic.
8. Cool forest. Would have been ranked higher if there were more photos.
Thank you.
The UMBRELLA is a TROLL
DeleteWell, Monkey Sir, you would agree that the beauty of that truly magnificent painting, the Fight with the Hyena, is that wherever it is placed on the ranking system, it still outshines its position?
DeleteThat's why, when I ranked it, I intentionally made it outshine its rather meager disposition. It shows its eloquence and magnificence no matter how anyone ranks it.
One side note: I must say, the Fight with a Hyena is a truly spectacular photograph. Words cannot describe the absurdity and whimsicality. It is photorealistic, and quite aptly describes its situation.
Thank you.
The UMBRELLA is NOT a TROLL
DeleteI am very glad to hear that.
DeleteFine, I'll vote. For the mandelbrot images, I vote in this order:
ReplyDeleteAn Unexpected Treat
Mini Mandelbrot
The Carpet
A thousand and two golden lights
Crystal Palace
etc.
As for the AI images, I think...well...
1. since the mice and porcupines and hyena one is the most unbelievable and also the most absurd thing I've seen such that I cannot picture a scenario like that and apparently this robot was able to picture it instead, I vote that first.
2. Waterfall's Throne at night
3. The lanterns and the sea
4. The snake pictures
5. etc.
6. The pheonix last, since it's much too red.
There. I voted. Now can somebody kindly tell me the benefits of voting for this, and why I should waste time and money on such a thing?? Thank you. Appreciated.
We will rank phoenix as fifth, for political purposes.
DeleteWhat's a-this non-a-sense?? Where it from, and who a-doin' it?
ReplyDeleteIt's the Midnight Dagger. You didn't know?
DeleteYou are calling the Midnight Dagger nonsense? Seriously? What nonsense is this?
DeleteMR RATASTASHII the REBEL is actually a TROLL
DeleteI'm a-not. YOU are.
DeleteMandelbrot set:
ReplyDelete1.A thousand golden lights
2. Woodland Majesty
3. Golden Tapestry
4. Nautilus (a classic)
5. An unexpected treat (another classic)
6. Elephants
7. Carpet
8.Crystal Palace (first time I ever saw that picture.)
9. Fractal Repetitions
Ai images ranked:
1. The "Porcupine artifacts" series. This was only given an honorable mention, but it should have gotten more.
2. The "Fight with a Hyena." Great images
3. Cherrywood Hickory
4. Phoenix series
5. Waterfall's Throne (controversial ranking, I know)
6. Serpent series
7. Cool Forest
8. Lenderthrond
9. Torrents of Darkness
Thank you! These are really good pictures
Porcupine! Is that you? Delightful to see you! Simply great!
DeleteBUT YOU ARE STILL A TROLL!!!!
Hello monkey! Why do you think I am a troll?
DeleteOnly a TROLL would rank the "Fight with the hyena" SECOND
DeleteI ranked my personal images first for a reason. Because they were underrated, so I wanted to raise their value.
DeleteOther than that, I ranked the "Fight with the Hyena" second.
Makes sense
Deletefor me I like vacation spots because of that I will not choose Mandelbrot images
ReplyDeletebut for the Ai images these are my rankings
1. Waterfalls Throne
2. Lenderthrond
3. Phoenix (being in that forest watching that phoenix will be beautiful)
4. cool forest
5. Cherrywood Hickory
6. Fight with the Hyena (to much fighting not a good place to relax)
7. the last one: the Serpent Mage (can stand to think of it)
these are my rating I would LOVE to go to the three.
Everyone, rank the hyena one last, so that Monkey will understand that he is just dead wrong, and that if anyone is a troll, he is.
