Asymmetrical
A black-capped chickadee drops from the pointy bit of a stump down to the fallen tree that lies on the ground. The scene is somewhat backlit so the outstretched wing is a bit translucent. The tip of its upper beak is translucent, too, and looks a small drop of bright water.
I was trying to get a photo of a bird with both wings and the tail lit up, but that endeavor was unsuccessful, mostly because a bit of luck is involved. Some chickadees came close to fully cooperating but even newer cameras have problems with focus on backlit subjects, especially when they are small and moving at high speed. I took some great totally OOF flight shots! LOL.
