Another beach scene, probably the best so far. I like beach scenes on my desktop, so don't expect this to be the last.

Turns out it's fairly difficult to get a Triceratops to look like it's smiling. Thanks to Lauren on Facebook for helping name the image!

The memory of a beautiful scene tends to exaggerate the key points, trees are taller, valleys are deeper, vistas are wider, and the moon is bigger. I used a telescopic photo of the moon to get more detail.

An actual 3d fractal flame, hovering over an ocean. It's actually a composite of 3 renders, one of the 3d fractal, one of an ocean at the same angle, and a 2d version of the fractal used to cast reflections in the water.

Thank you Sydney for the winning name! I can't declare winner on Facebook because their rules distance themselves from contest liability.
I didn't know the definition of oracle included the knowledge & wisdom passed from an oracle, but now I realize the name fits perfectly.

This one took so long to render that I skipped all post editing. I normally make some minor adjustments.

Not something you want to look up and see looking down at you. This would have been up yesterday, if I had come up with the name I liked sooner.

I kept most of the test renders to experiment with making a slideshow of it's creation. It showed me I rendered over 90 test renders.

I frame many of my images with a tree in the foreground, and since the primary use of the image is wallpaper, and majority of users icons run along the left side, I put the trees on the left.

Could be a subtle St. Patrick's Day wallpaper, or Spring in general. Perfect for those who forget to take decorations down.
