I've had this fractal waiting in the wings for a while, a similar one to Fire and Ice: [link]
When I changed the gradient and some other things, I thought of Atlantis and basically everything to do with that Ancient Greek era, water, etc. Thing was, I thought it could use one more thing, and that began my search for a good dirt or sand texture. I found a great one: [link] from ~AsariStock, so I have to give a shout out to her. Hope you like, enjoy! P.S. Yes, I realize the sand is much more visible on the left than the right, that's because I didn't render as a transparent and had to lay the light beige color over the sand texture.  Comments
 Beautiful!!!

-- =Apophysis Fractals: [link] || Photography & 3D Art: [link] Member of *Tubaholics-Anonymous First try with it, it's certainly possible, I just need to render as a transparent and try different blending options. I'm wondering what else I can do in this style, cave paintings, space forms, etc.

Critiques
You've brought a bit of early summer here, with this piece. I wish I could step on the sand, and into the water, and stay on the beach all day.
Not only the mosaic-like pattern reminds of Ancient Greece, but even the colours you used, and of course the concept, remind me af some greek island with white sand, turquoise waters and dazzling white houses on the hillside.
It's true that the contrast between the right and the left part of the sand texture it's big, but that adds to the feeling of damp sand on the spray zone of the left part. I'd say that, on the right, the difference becomes a bit to much just in the area around the spirals, due to the contrast with their darker blues. It could use a bit of desaturation there, but it's nice anyway, maybe more natural.
You make me want to do something with rich textures again!
one thing that bugs me is the orientation though. although i know that the stained glass and wave forms are used quite often in a horizontal orientation, there's a good reason for it, and i think it fits better than the vertical orientation you have here. i keep wanting to tilt my head sideways to view this and that is easily fixed by rotating the frame 90 degrees counterclockwise
