Project 13 - The goldan section

In this project I had to take picture according to the golden section, which means that the ratio between the small part to the large part of the photo is the same as the the ratio between the large part and the whole.
I think that usually I like to take photos in this method. I often find my self take photos with the subject close to the edge taking about one third of the photo and the background takes the rest.
Here are the photos:

A very loved photo. I think the division here is very clear.

Here are some examples from the textbook to the golden section:
