In this image, I photographed subtle symmetry in a natural landscape. While exploring the Baylands Nature Preserve, I was originally looking for perfect symmetry using the reflections of the environment in the water. However, I quickly found that exact symmetry is not as interesting to look at as subtle symmetry, which is noticeable but doesn’t take away from the composition itself. This photo has implications of both translational symmetry as it depicts four repeated trees, and reflectional symmetry because the left and right sides of the photo are mirror images of each other.
