I like the contrast between the soft, organic curves of the spiral and the hard lines of the checkerboard. Nice!

One might say that the organized hard lines reflect the day-to-day work life while the spiral represents the temporary and resting daydream. Or one might say that its just a cluge.

That's an interesting one: The first thing that strikes the eye is, of course, the spiral. But with a closer look, it appears to be based on sigmoid curves instead.
There's a lot of volume, move and depth in this one (mainly because of the curves). You don't see it as a wall, now do you? I think the highlight of this image is the blending of the colors, that switch harmoniously from brown to green. Textures are also particularly sweet.
Two things though:
- At the bottom, you see the brown square turning into an element of the spiral. I'm a bit annoyed by the non-prependicular line; it breaks the movement effect a little bit.
- I noticed you like square patterns (right, triangles as well). I'm totally ok with that, but here you had an opportunity to wave the line according to the sigmoid curves, as to make the background look like some kind of sheet. I think it may have accentuated the sweet feeling of the whole image (straight lines are tougher) and I'd have liked that.
Fortunately, these are only insignificant details that never could spoil a very good picture.

FoB - If I could 
It is great to know that I've got someone to keep me honest!
Your observation on square patterns and suggestion to apply the sigmoid curves is a great one and I plan to produce a variant that incorporates that effect.
Thanks again for your comment and critiques.

So you didn't actually wrote the formula? I'm beginning to have an idea of what a formula is, but I'm not advanced enough in UF tutorials to fully understand what writing a formula really implies. I assume it's no easy thing to do.
For the record, sigmoid curves are nothing but curves that draw an "S" (it comes from "sigma", the Greek letter). The graphic of many chemical reactions is typically sigmoid (like, when you want to dose a component in solution by making it react with a known quantity of another substance). The inflexion is reversed at the exact center of the curve, where is the volume you want to determine... But enough of this, who cares anyway? Their shape is "S", that's all there is to it.

I can't speak to the difficulty of writing formulas. At this point I don't have an interest. I'm just having fun working with the UF application and making images I like. I admit that when other folks like them too it a great feeling. I very much care about the sigmoid explanation. I am a bit of a techie to the extent that I appreciate those who actually know what they are talking about.... i.e. you.
Thanks for the note.

Beautiful Sam, when I saw it in the class forum, I hoped you would upload it (and the other one made with the same formula wich is amazing too)
