A delightful composition of soft well-selected colors, color-harmony, soft
lighting and descent details in the surface textures! This image was done by
an artist.

Thanks!
Of course that's the trick of minimalist pictures,
I don't have messy details like breadcrumbs to
worry about :-)

Thanks!
but let's not get carried away with the artist thing, I have earlier
versions of this that would make your toes curl :-)

My use of it is much simpler, as a compositional aid. Perhaps I should
explain it a bit more (or perhaps not, but I'm going to anyway :-)
A golden rectangle has the unique property that if you cut a square
off of it, then the remaining shape is also a golden rectangle, and you
can repeat the cutting. So in my pic each object is centred on one
of those squares: The pot first, then the full cup, then the empty cup,
then the tea stain.
I don't see any point in obfuscating the idea, since it was deliberate,
and the result does have a sort of balance to it.

I hear you. Well, prove it. Show it. I would like to see these images as
well. :-)

I'd expect that most people like we POVers who enjoy making pictures
mathematically, know a bit about Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio,
but you never know.

Yes, I saw it as soon as you mentioned golden rectangles. I've done lots of
graphics involving Fibonacci numbers and spirals. I even wrote a routine to
wrap text in a proportional font onto an exponential spiral (in PostScript;
what an experience :). So I've spent plenty of time looking at such spiral
arrangements... Also, partial Fibonacci spirals arise in Penrose tilings,
which I've spent a bit of time playing with in several languages, including
POV, of course.

I like the the aesthetics of the golden section, but I don't think that it
is necessarily all that more beautiful than other ratios.

sheepish grin :-)

Funny you mentioned that, I've always been fascinated by that property
of the ISO A-series (whatever it's number) paper sizes. The ratio 1/sqrt(2)
means that if you cut A4 in half you get A5... but I guess most Pov-ers know
that one too :-)
