I like the last one. I have no idea how to provide feedback for fractal art, honestly. These are interesting in that they don't resemble what I think about when I hear the word fractal, which is like neon swirl backgrounds from 2005. Something about them will always feel unfinished to me, though? What do you consider to be good fractal art?

My idea of good visual art goes as far as being aesthetically pleasing. If it gets there, it's good.
Man, you can be more in depth than that. If you are going on the adventure of making non representational art, being able to talk about your influences and state your aesthetics is important. Its just as much about being able to tell the onlooker what you are going for as to decipher for yourself what you are going for. This is why we look at art history at all, when you are asked to describe a painting, its about giving your mind the resources to dissect it for what you like and put it to words. Once you do that its much easier to extract abstract qualities and Ideas to apply them to completely new work and media.
What may be pleasing to you is probably fairly arbitrary from my perspective, so you can really optimize what kind of feedback you get if you can be more specific about what you like. Plus, talking about stuff you like is fun!
I have to say, this is some interesting and cool stuff. It's fascinating (at least to me) how you can tell a person what you see, and the person you're talking to might not see the same thing at all.
Like the blue splash/person one, I can kind of see a watery splash, but I think that's mostly a result of the color choice. Mostly, it looks like a close up of some kind of beetle to me. (The two small horizontal-ish bits about 1/3rd of the way up are antennae).
Do you have a larger version of the third one from your OP? I'm thinking it could make a great desktop wallpaper, loathe as I am to abandon my Portal 2 desktop, it's been nearly 3 years.
Someone's walking around with that Inkblot Samurai thing on a t-shirt. At least, I hope they are since they paid for it. I've got some more art to post tomorrow, but I just wanted to thank everyone for nudging me to think more about this stuff. It's made a huge difference.
So I went with that "match them to a concept" idea, and now people actually pay money for these. I think I'm going to start posting here again for critique. I know I'm probably the only one here who makes fractals, but feedback always helps, even if it's limited to aesthetics.

Is a great start for studying non-representational art, and just composition in general.

Here you go.
I'm also giving serious consideration to selling fractal art wallpapers. I've been uploading these to print sites, and people seem to like them.
What program do you use? How long does a typical work of art take?
These are some really cool visuals, btw.
It can take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour depending on how long it takes to find a good base fractal and adjust it into something I like.
well...moreso than others.
There's an implied "oonce oonce oonce" in all my art.
