Artist's Comments

there is a pattern spiraling through the universe. it informs most everything we do, it describes most everything we are. before it, the world is at best two dimensional. but once one makes it's aquaitance a new universe unfolds, deeper and more subtle.

----------
phi is here in two forms. the spiral of the snail shell and the proportion of sky to the proportion of wall. the golden spiral and the golden rectangle are both manifestations of phi.

:iconmorgaineofthesorrows:
wow, the philosophy behind this piece is amazing, not to mention the beautiful structural quality behind the photo :D
:iconmyuh:
:omg: this is facinating.
truly...I've always been intrigued by spirals, and I know about it being repeated throughout nature, but this piece is, for lack of a better word...AMAZING.
From the thumbnail it looked almost like a side view of a slice of earth revealing a fossil buried beneath. The illusion is quite cool. I do love how you divided the top and bottom by the spiral ratio, and the lighting is excellent. Very well executed shot. Bravo my friend.:heart:

Wow, freaking gorgeous shot. I like the message/description behind it too. The exposure is perfect. Did you have to use fill flash with this shot?
:iconiamwiley:
I sometimes look forward to your descriptions as much as i do the images! This is a great shot, full of perspective, texture, and character!

The contrasting textures between the shell and the wood looks great... two natural elements together in one shot. I think there could be a little more contrast to this shot.. but otherwise, nice capture!
