Hmm...

I'm certainly not a math expert, but the formula you give above
disagrees with the "Golden Ratio" web pages I've visited. The formula
I see on the web is:   Golden Ratio = ( 1 + sqr(5) ) / 2

Your formula subtracts, where this one adds. It seems that someone has
a typo on their hands. I hope it isn't a typo in your original POV-Ray
scene code.

Other than that potential flaw, it's a nice image. I even downloaded
the larger version.



Later,
Glen
