Austin American Statesman photographs (here by Rodolfo Gonzalez)

are consistently remarkable. This one has been color-and-texture-adjusted afterwards in the computer by the in-house digital Art-Co for licensed private use; but the perspective, composition, and eloquently evocative subject matter were there from the beginning.

So much good work Adding Value everywhere, serving everyone!

Dilys, you posted the remark below on my blog and linked to this entry on yours:

"There may have been some slippage, but I have for awhile tried to make anything I design congruent at least in outline with the proportions of the Golden Section."

Do you mean that this rectangular image has the proportions of the Golden Section. In what sense? The ratio of side to side, or of one section of the hypotenuse to the remaining section?

The former, being the more simple-minded. There may be some hidden hypotenuse issues in the inner outline of the figures, which I find less than 100% satisfying.

Thanks for the clarification. Incidentally, I agree with you that it's hard to perceive any special aesthetic appeal from art conforming to the Golden Section. I think that the aesthetics in such a case are primarily intellectual.
