This amazing Mandelbulb3D software is a constant source of inspiration 
Here I made a single layer fractal architecture, where my main goal was using fog settings to achieve a glassy-windows appearance on the right lower part.
Testing some of my photographs to choose a simple sky, I instead decided to set a natural lush ambiance, with a single photo of a pond I took in a Milan park.
The fractal itself isn't changed but it's quite hidden now, so it's in manipulations category.
Thanks for watching and remember to see it full size!

Having an eye for lighting, though, I'm slightly picky. I would have liked to have seen the reflection of the fractal in the water, particularly on the left side. As it is, all i can see is the trees and the part of the fractal that lies under the water, meaning the top is invisible.
I wanted to show part of the fractal underwater, yes, but I couldn't eliminate the reflections of the photo I added. I could duplicate the fractal and flip it to make an additional reflection on water, but it would have deleted the underwater part.
Thanks!

As for the duplicating the fractal: what program are you using? I use Gimp, so I could cut out of the flip what I needed (given some time) and perhaps change the perspective. It's hard to explain the procedure with text though.
The fractal shape, even if half-hidden in the shadow of something, is always my first priority. Everything I posted is still available on my HD for future tweaking. If one day I decide to manipulate them I'll have years of work ahead and I'll surely use every hint or suggestion I saw in the comments, yours included (I have a good memory)
btw, I use photoshop for post production, your explanation is good enough for me
Thanks.

And you're welcome.
wat im really lovin' about this peice is that you got that cristal-clear glassy effect goin' on, which makes the whole right side of the building have a more preserving effect look(because i see glass between corners). this looks like a power house of some sort, like a mid-way under water factory or base.i also like how the layering's adding a sortta mist effect within deep of the structure.
wonderful job
The glass-like fog effect is my favorite part too. I'd like to have time and be able to add people inside the building

Actually the water was added later, I was unsure if hiding the bottom part of the fractal was a good thing
I'll probably post it without water too
From the thumbnail I though some nitwit posted a photo into fractals again
Thank you!
