distort tube obliqe h -108
3d cylinder default turn light off axis x 0 y 90 z 30 transp 200on aa level 5 on
dup layer effects color flip/rotate 6 colum over 3rd down
move selected pixels bounding rec 413x 384 deselect
merge down
tube again 135 all other set at default
3d cylnder 1.15 scale ax x 0 y 169.4 z 30
dup layer gass blur 25 now move gass layer below the original beginning fractal

Nice, job! Very clean...

try to get some form up first flowing like and then cut/paste another offshoot try to have it not touching edges but an odd angle to the original part. that tends to give the best trails and back curves.

don't be afraid to use that eraser on some of the areas you don't want.

experiment with curves etc.

also for the black background do some layers over top of it (transparent) lasso an odd shaped spot fill with color yellow and gassiaun blur around 20% to say 35% that I like to use a lot blue and pink work well also.

just make sure you have each highlight on separate layers under your fractal before you flatten.

recheck under that fractal i put up some more tips to you but think I forgot to use the reply button, so they are sitting in the comments with the fractal.
