I had never heard of 'The Golden Section' so spent some time googling this on the Internet.. I had been only aware to date of the Rule of Thirds and have tried to apply this when taking shots.My search threw up the 'Golden Spiral' / Ratio. Also found an interesting site for pictures showing the spiral etc.. See :

Since coming across these theories,I've been checking out the pictures posted each morning on the online version of the Guardian to see whether this applies to any of the selected photos..Not sure this is always the case with these particular series as I suspect dramatic subject matter might often override here. That said, I will be looking at Hockney's exhibition next Friday in a new way ( and future planned trips to the Tate ). I've also decided to track down where I can view exhibited photos as opposed to those posted electronically- again to look at the images from these various points of view.
