made to show the similarity and difference in our perception of self similar objects

I originally intended to call the pic 'brothers in birth', but i wasn't sure of the understanding and clearness of this title. The next concept was 'duality' until I got this almost mandelbrot shaped (in german we call this the 'little apple guy' - 'Apfelmaennchen') shadow of the tree (which was in fact a lucky accident, that would have never been happened if intended), and 'trinity' was no good name in my opinion.

The picture itself didn't encounter a big evolution, there were only some minor light and angle changes - it is just like intended. The tree was done with my dh-herotree.inc, i changed the leaves to maple, silver surface. The fractal tetraeder was made with the macro i developed for the marble3 of my sandcastle (surprisingly this was made first). For the tree itself there is a long description at "the dancers".
