This is a plant

I use a tried and true "fractal generator" for this piece... plants... if anyone knows what plant this is (occurring wild in Utah, USA) please tell me in the comments. [EDIT - the base image is Rhodiola rosea, thanks to Hive account@mondoshawan for the tip!] I used this crop of my own original photography as a base image because I liked the interplay of the main plant and the smaller plant and pebble patterns on the ground. I knew it would be fertile ground to mine with an artificially intelligent pickaxe.

This is my first attempt to upload a GIF to nTOPAZ, fingers crossed (the last image in this post). Process images are mid-process of creating the moving layers that slide above the background in the GIF.

EDIT well doesn't look like the GIF worked. In the nTOPAZ image upload preview the GIF appeared to work but it is not moving now.

I uploaded the GIF to IMGUR but still seem to be having some issues getting it to work with Steem
