Wow! If I had this for lunch, I'd feel like I ate the Fibonacci Sequence

But seriously, it is indeed amazing to see how this pattern is replicated in nature, whether it is the seed pattern in the head of a sunflower, or a calulflower head, or a nautilus shell.

I like the square aspect ratio and the circular and diagonal lines formed by the shadows too.

Good catch on the Fibonacci Sequence John, I studied it quite a bit in Architecture School years ago. Might even make a great Weekly Challenge topic...

Glad you grabbed this shot Scott - it's wonderful Never would have guessed it to be cauliflower.

For years, I've been intrigued by the various mathematical relationships in natural forms. Although fractals are my personal favorite, this image certainly epitomizes that fascination... thank you for sharing

This simple image is complex and works in so many different ways. Excellent choice on the depth of field. Too many folks try to flatten out an image like this. I like the way the florets become smaller as they recede into the horizon! Great pattern. Well-captured.

How cool! The beautiful designs to be found in nature can be so amazing. Your frame-filling close-up comp helps us see and appreciate the amazing designs in this unusual cauliflower. The DOF choice and lighting helps to accent all the ridges and textures. I think I would like the bug/dirt removed from the left side. . .a crop from the left may be a possibility. This beautiful and interestingly designed vegetable may even help motivate a child to "eat their veggies".

Never looked this close at a Cauliflower. Wow, I I think I'll head for the nearest store. Very neat and very well seen. I do wish for just a bit more dof so the tips in the bottom half were sharp.
