I took this photo earlier this month with my Canon Rebel SL1 and a 10x close-up lens; it is of a dead bug on the porch at my house. The title of this image is "Golden Spiral (Sacred Geometry)", which refers to the idea of the golden spiral, a logarithmic spiral that often occurs naturally within nature—such as the pattern in which seeds grow in sunflower heads—in conjunction with sacred geometry, which is the idea of certain shapes having sacred or symbolic meaning, as well as that the repeated occurrence of such shapes in the natural world is evidence of some sort of divine creator. This title is referring to the way in which the bug has curled up post-mortem. This image is unedited aside from significant cropping, done to focus the image more on the bug.

The photo turns decay into meaning by highlighting a natural golden spiral in the insect’s curled body. The close-up framing emphasizes pattern and texture, making the form feel intentional rather than accidental. It suggests that beauty and order can exist even in death.
I really like this photo. I think the lighting and the close up shot of the insect was beautifully portrayed. I don't have any negative criticism for this photo. Good job
This is absolutely what I was going for, thank you so much!
i love the detail in this photo and the way the light is reflecting off the body! i especially like the call back to the golden spiral, it reminds the viewer just how much math is engrained in everything we see.
cool picture, i like how glossy it is. ngl it reminds me of kaleb's mom
