I mentioned that this image's proportions match the Golden Rectangle's. The Golden Rectangle is a figure that has a length to width ratio of 1.618 that appears throughout nature and is supposedly the most pleasing rectangle to our eyes. It is definitely easy to look at--the rectangle, that is, fits comfortably with my eye I notice. I wonder why they don't make standard photo sizes, or negative or ccd sensor sizes, in that ratio? 4x6 (same as 35mm) is a 1.5 ratio; 8x10 is 1.25. I made this image specifically to be that ratio; I just thought, "Hey! I can have the sky go up as far as I want...let's try the Golden Rectangle! Hmm, what are the Golden Rectangle's dimensions...? I'll look it up on Wikipedia!" So I looked it up and here we are. The links I'm including are very short and interesting reads from Wikipedia, check 'em out.

I made one other image to these proportions, completely by happenstance. Wierdly, it was the image I made right before this one, I just realized! it's called "Beleaved," and it's one of those leaf people images. You can see it from it's forum post here:

I think I'll try to make more with these dimensions--mb people will really like 'em.
