For this assignment, we were supposed to edit a portrait to show symmetry. I took a picture of my brother for this assignment. I think the original portrait turned out alright, considering the fact that I am very much a beginner to using this camera. However, if I had time to do it again, I would make sure the lighting is coming from the front. Because it was coming from the side, it made the symmetry look very strange, since the start of the shadow created a visible midline. I only did a version with the right side of the face, since the left side was too much in shadow to use.
