Ocean Village Lines and Reflections

Southampton, England

My entry for the T.I.T.C theme 'Fibonacci'.

Although Fibonacci is about numbers, it is my understanding that that sequence
of numbers when expressed as squares creates a spiral or nautilus-type pattern.
This is said to be the simple basis of artistic and photographic composition
because it is the pattern that best retains the attention of the eye and brain.

So in this picture, my eye is drawn to the quay wall then the boats followed by the buildings then
the reflection and around again.

Canon PowerShot SD800 IS
1/500s f/5.8 at 17.3mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto
