An infinity of Mega Pixels

Dear StumbleUpon travellers: Thanks for visiting! Make sure to visit my stream for other interesting pictures

Another "Droste effect" picture, on the concept of "4.0 mega pixels". This is not an ad for recursive Canon Ixus cameras...

Image done in The Gimp and MathMap, with a custom script.

I can't find the plugin needed for this effect for Windows...there's just no compile for it, which is what I need. But even if I had it, I lack the talent you have for these works. This is just fantastic.
