The number of iterations chosen has a large effect on the image — higher values give sparser more detailed appearance, as a few of the points pass through a large number of pixels before they escape, resulting in their paths being more prominent.
If a lower number of iterations was used, these points would not escape in time and would be regarded as not escaping at all.
