It's also a number, (aprox 1.62) that appears often in nature. The ratio of PHI to one is known as the divine proportion, and is seen amazingly often in nature.
Er, is that the "golden proportion" that is seen in nautilus shells, etc? I thought about doing something like that too. Its much harder to show something that is clearly in in proportion than clearly out of proportion... I don't think too many people would get it if it was a depiction of the letter itself. With only two challenge entries so far, I have already found out that you have to be pretty explicit about how your picture relates to the challenge or people won't pick up on it. Understandable as there are so many pictures to rate...
yeah I know about PHI (THETA's close relative), but I also know about that PHI too.. :D
It's a cool idea for a subject, and for those that don't know about the concept it would be an interesting learning exercise. I don't know how practical it would be though for shooting. And the judging would be a real bore, the same pictures of shells, flowers and pentagrams over and over again hehee.. I don't know.. I'm new here, but it would be worth a try. :D
[I'm in my optimistic mood today]
I expect it would be wasted. Same with serendipity, looks like finding money is one of the few meanings ppl could get out of it. My dictionary states that Serendipity means: Pure luck in discovering things you were not looking for, so I went for an unusual take on that. Too many comments are like "duh, whats this?" as though they think there's luck in finding money, but not in finding an unusual view of something.
