The more formal approach
While I am drawn to things that are falling apart or are otherwise not symmetrical, sometimes a formal arrangement does catch my attention. That’s what happened here, with the steps and the brick and the pattern on the doors and the shadows, all lining themselves up perfectly.

I too am a lover of symmetry (Charlotte thinks I’m a bit obsessional!), but I like the preciseness, the order and line of an image that has symmetry to it. Nice one, Mel.

Thank you, Andy. I knew I wanted this shot to be framed so that it was symmetrical and formal – that’s not usually something I do on purpose!
(In our house, Larry is the one who is obsessed with symmetry.) (Not that I think YOU are obsessed.)
