Symmetry is a compositional device that features a subject reflected across an imaginary axis. In general, the main subject sits smack-dab in the center of the frame. Symmetry is a solid alternative to the rule of thirds. Two elements – symmetrical subjects and reflective objects – are your symmetry bread and butter. So when you’re out with your camera and you’re aiming to capture a powerful photo, stop, take a deep breath, and look around for symmetry.

Photos for Project 52-10-35 are to be taken and posted between May 6 - May 12.

Rules:
1. Anyone and everyone who is interested is eligible. The goal continues to be
have fun and share comments, concepts, insights, and techniques with fellow
Pentaxians.
2. Each week will feature a Theme and Sub-concept for you to explore.
3. Post your single picture in Project 52-10 thread for the week. Explain what
motivated you to take the picture or how it represents the weekly theme.
4. Some post-processing is OK (adjusting white balance, exposure, color
saturation), but let's try to stay away from heavily PP'ed images here. Try to
keep the creativity to photographic techniques and the captures themselves.
5. Since this project is about technique, and not camera, shots taken by non
Pentax cameras are allowed. Cameras may be SLRs, DSLRs, Point & Shoot,
Medium Format, etc. But no phones, please.
6. There is one “Theme Concept” labeled “black and white,” but feel free to post
black and white, sepia, monotone, etc., for any of the other themes.
7. The picture you post should be taken during the week in which the theme is
active to be eligible for judging.
8. Any picture taken from thread start date to listed closing date is acceptable.

Posting so I hopefully don't forget about it this week.

The king is in the middle. Not the most creative composition but it fits the theme for this week. K100D/ Kit 18-55

Way past time to close this project. Thanks Noel for your participation.

Both are good photos but I think djb47's chess scene better exemplifies the theme of symmetry so I am choosing it as the winner.

Thanks Blamking.
