I would say that out of all of the photos I have taken so far for this class, this prompt posed the greatest challenge: symmetry. And, on top of that, I had to incorporate some sort of landscape into the photo. I was immediately drawn to this staircase (if you can even call it that) because of the plants. The way they had been trimmed and laid out created such a satisfying symmetry, while also providing visual contrast between the pale greens of the leaves and the rich orangey-reds of the bricks. The balance in colors ended up being one of my favorite parts of this image, as I find it really adds to the cohesiveness that symmetry demands. I ended up enjoying the challenge of having to search for a scene/composition that was naturally symmetrical to take a photo of, most because it really forced me to pay close attention to my surroundings.
