"The Golden Ratio has been used in art for millennia. Use or illustrate the Golden Ratio in a photograph today."
I have long been fascinated by the Golden Ratio, Phi, and the Fibonacci Sequence. So for today's shot, I wanted to illustrate the Golden Ratio in a few different ways. The face is said to have proportions according to the Golden Ratio. The pinecone, of course, is one of the natural occurances of the Golden Spiral. I also composed the shot to make use of the Golden Spiral and intersection of the Golden Triangles. Yep. I'm a geek.
