June 2011 Photo Competition - Symmetry

[Jim_Mercer]

Having looked at the entries in the months before I joined the forum I have seen some pictures that would be excellent for this subject so perhaps a new rule - pictures must not have been entered in previous competitions

[Al Laius]

Great subject - just perfect for certain Sansevierias!

Cheers

As I will be judging these are not entries but do show my interpretation of symmetry. All pictures taken today using the standard "kit" lens that came with my now rather out of date Canon 450D.

And now that I have seen the pictures on the big screen perhaps I had better go back and remove some cobwebs..............

I like symmetry, it's very satisfying, so here are two I took today.

It's very ancient and has never flowered before, I must have done something right! It is always wonderfully symmetrical

This one is someone's reject and I think it is a Parodia. Whatever it is, it has grown like fury this year and has been very satisfying to see.
The broadband went haywire and I have no idea why I got two pictures the same, sorry.
