This week’s challenge by Soffia of Photographias, “may look at first a hard one but, in reality, symmetry is everywhere. It’s also not as static a concept as it may seem. Why is symmetry important as a composition tool in photography? It creates strong and balanced images, affecting the way we feel the subject. Our eyes find symmetry harmonious and pleasing.”
After I retired from teaching/librarianship I focused on my photography, and enrolled in many community college classes. There, the role of symmetry was not encouraged. During photo critiques, if a subject was “dead” center, it was pretty much dismissed. I know that there are exceptions to every rule, but I must have taken this one to heart. I had to take a hard look at my collection of photographs to come up with these.
Architecture
Landscape
Animals
Reflections
Abstracts & Decorations
I hope you like my photo selections that may have received some critique in my photography classes. I’ll await your decision.
Maybe, it’s good to look at some symmetry as the world spins in its chaos! Stay safe, and take time to breathe!

A wonderful gallery, Marlene. You’ve covered every possible symmetry with beautiful examples. I too loved your landscapes but also the turtles and the kitchen one, well spotted.

Beautiful of course Marlene. Favorites are the green doors and the fork (especially loved that one!) but all are wonderful.
