    Hi and thank you for your good work. I think that if I had approached it as a photographer,, I would have thought of it sooner.

    Hi Kathar1na, Don't diminish your work. I have enjoyed your journey of discovery. My brain is asking me "Can we go and lie down for a while now?" Now we need to know if we are correct. Regards, John.

    So with 0.618 we are looking at the Golden Spiral made of identical Golden rectangles and being very close to Fibonacci Spirals as they converge? I think that I getting to beyond my pay grade! I am a simple photographer, rather than an artist or mathematician.

    The representation of the clothing is wonderful. The light in the top left corner I would see as part of the Star of Bethlehem. The well lit plant in the right foreground, looks thorny, so perhaps a reference to the future. I also think that I can see a halo behind the Virgin.
