Golden section is rather hard to do when framing multiple moving subjects.
It's a nice theory, but much harder practice.


That is true, it is a hard job.

I've taken photo classes in
the past and found some use golden section as a crutch anyways. It's not a
required thing for framing shots and sometimes looks quite unnatural with
certain subjects. Besides, these are all crops of much larger photographs
to make them small enough to put on a webpage. If I really wanted to, at
the expense of file size, I could recrop to have the main focal object in
a golden section, but I found that to be unneccessary.


I often see photos from fishes, they look all egual, because of bullseye
focus. Those kind of photos are usful for books, but the more
interesting photos are photos they tell a story and with a photo you can
initiate that.
But this is my personal opinion.
