"In photography, symmetry appears when parts of your composition mirror other parts. It is created when two halves of your scene look the same and balance each other out. Symmetry defines something being clean, proportional and balanced and will make pictures appear neat, tidy and clinical." (definition from a photography newsletter).

Symmetry can be vertical, horizontal and I suppose, any plane in between. It also may not be your most common photographic composition (speaking for myself as I had few examples)

So, let's get a little "balanced, neat and tidy" thread going....knowing that an image may not be perfectly symmetrical, but we can try.

Great idea, Pat. After learning all the so-called rules, like Rule of Thirds, etc., we get too caught up in what the "experts" say we should do as opposed to doing what feels right for you. After all, almost everyone needs to have their own style, right?

Great examples, great start...now I'll just have to see if I have broken any "rules."

Here’s the end of a kitchen table I made for my daughter using spalted elm. I cut the end of the boards off and flipped them over before gluing.


Beautiful work!
