Nice, Railgun.
Thanks, bosstones. The thing looks like some huge industrial machine in person. It's in a church in Rothenburg, Germany.

Not happy about the vines being in the way, but it was the same on every floor. Taken at the Marriott Marquis in Atlanta.
I call it "The Spine"

Thanks!
Ya, they had ledges so people couldn't attempt to jump off. It was already a 3 foot reach just to take that picture, so there was no way I could have safely held the vines out of the way and taken the picture at the same time. I only got two hands!

yeah sometimes shots workout that way. I mean its not like someone can come along and take the picture without them, or you just didn't think about it. You can only work with what it gives ya.

Man, I'm struggling with this one. Finding symmetry is not the problem, I'm surrounded by it. The problem is creating a compelling image!!

That looks like symmetry to me. IMO symmetry doesn't necessarily mean that you can slice the picture down the middle and it would look exactly the same. Symmetry could be a picture of the railroads, parallel lines, etc. You're probably thinking of symmetrical vs asymmetrical.

I think that needs to be more clearly specified.
From Webster: 1 : balanced proportions; also : beauty of form arising from balanced proportions 2 : the property of being symmetrical; especially : correspondence in size, shape, and relative position of parts on opposite sides of a dividing line or median plane or about a center or axis — compare bilateral symmetry, radial symmetry 3 : a rigid motion of a geometric figure that determines a one-to-one mapping onto itself 4 : the property of remaining invariant under certain changes (as of orientation in space, of the sign of the electric charge, of parity, or of the direction of time flow) —used of physical phenomena and of equations describing them What I got from those definitions is that symmetry can be loosely defined as long as there is balance. Balance is very subjective thus it's being used loosely. |

Im new here, but why dont we just do "split down the middle" to avoid confusion.

The contest said "architectural" which would include all the building pix. Sure you could take it straight on so that it's symmetrical but by taking it from a different angle, ///MWA has given the picture an interesting perspective. I think for this contest we should just include all the pictures if it even remotely resembles symmetry. Keep in mind that we're collectively running this contest because the last winner seems to be MIA. Besides, if symmetry strictly means that the picture should be exactly the same on both sides then almost all pictures do not qualify because if you drew a line down the middle, very few pictures are symmetrical. Just something to think about...

its not whether the building split down the middle is symmetrical... its does the photo show its symmetry. think about this? Is a mountain range symmetrical? Hardly... nature is rarely symmetrical especially in on such a grand scale. Yet this example photo is of a mountain range and symmetrical isn't it? That is my point. You can take non symmetrical things and make them symmetrical if you are creative. To take something already symmetrical and show it in a non symmetrical form isn't symmetrical anymore. The point is to SHOW the symmetry, not hide it. |

^ Wow that's a great picture! For a second I thought that was yours and was thinking "wow we have a winner" lol. But yeah I know exactly what you're talking about. All I'm saying is that if we are strictly defining "symmetry" then most of the pix submitted don't fit the theme. If that's the case we would have like 3 pix to vote on. Where's the fun in that?
Anyhow, here's my submission- Evening Swim |
