| Also known as the golden ratio or the divine proportion, it's the fundamental visual appeal of certain proportional spaces. It is from the golden mean that photography derives is famous "rule of thirds." |

any challenge that has an equation that looks like this
Should be avoided at all costs!;-)

Does it have to be golden? What if it's just yellow? Does Aristotle have to be in the picture? What if I use a picture of Aristotle, or a painting? Is that a literal representation of Ari?

From the standpoint of voting, most images organized along the principles of the Golden Proportion are indistinguishable from those composed to the "rule of thirds". The golden ratio/proportion can be used to generate spiral compositions as well, but even so the center of interest will fall on, or near, a node defined by the rule of thirds. So this challenge would basically be a rule of thirds technique challenge...

oooh... cool ... can we call it "de gulden snede" challenge? or perhaps, just de gulden snail, since there will be plenty of them, and spiral staircases....

except that you can show more figurative examples of the golden mean. I believe it also refers to a lifestyle.

bump! I wanna do this challenge, although very similar to rule of thirds, it would produce some interesting photos and force some people who have never tried this compositional technique to try it out.
