I think symmetry in nature is beautiful. Always happy to get one in the field. Here's one of our local tiercel - Odin on his favorite perch. He always perches towards the tip where as Maxine likes to the middle part.
Taj Mahal Retro in my Symmetry series. Taken with an old film camera and scanned into the computer. Processed in Lightroom, Photoshop and Nik Silver X.
The challenge for the week was to create a symmetrical image.
I decided to work around symmetry in nature. This is a blood orange.

Otra de la serie de las Dolfinas!
Con un toque de Lomo.
Gracias a toda la gente que pasa por mi galeria, sinceramente, es bueno saber que estoy haciendo algo bien (o quiero creer eso). Estan palabras son de un aficionado sin equipo, solamente la pasion de la fotografia. Aprendi mucho mirando sus galerias! Gracias a todos!
Espero que les guste!

Another series of Dolfina!
With a touch of Lomo.
Thanks to everyone who passes through my gallery, frankly, is good to know I'm doing something right (or want to believe that.) They're words are an amateur with no equipment, only the passion of photography. I learned a lot watching your photographic works. Thanks to all.
I hope you like it!
My work with snowflakes is deceptive; I favour the symmetrical snowflakes because I find them more beautiful, but it’s quite rare to find a snowflake with this level of symmetry. There’s a lot of chaos that goes into the formation of these crystals, and a symmetric snowflake is just one of countless possibilities.
They almost all start with symmetry, however. On the smallest molecular scale, all snowflakes are pretty much just hexagonal prisms. If environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.) remain the same, that symmetry will continue as a snowflake grows into a larger prism. As it grows, however, something changes: as the distance from one corner to another increases, so too does the potential for different parts of a snowflake to experience slightly different conditions. There is nothing that ties the growth of all six branches of a snowflake together other than the fact that they all grow in the same conditions.
As a certain point, the “branching instability” kicks in. This is triggered when the corners of a small hexagonal snowflake can collect more available water vapour (building blocks) than the inner portions of the crystal facets; whatever stick out the farthest, grows the fastest. This is why branches form from all outwardly-facing angles of a snowflake. As branches continue to grow further from the center, the likelihood of different growth conditions – even just immeasurably small fluctuations in humidity – increases exponentially. Symmetry is still possible, but it becomes more of a lottery game as it grows. A snowflake like this would be like hitting the jackpot.
Another fun snowflake fact: the crystal structure only has primary features on one side. Notice how the inner parts of the branches are relatively lower in contrast then darker features emerge as they widen? The less-contrasty areas do have surface features, but they are on the rear side of the snowflake. Changes in growth conditions can flip the side where these details are featured – a mechanism I do not fully understand, but the evidence of it happening is right in front of you – the higher-contrast area on the “paddle” of the branches is surface details interacting with the light from my flash, showcasing the contours of the crystal.
The tiny hexagon in the center is the result of the snowflake beginning as a column which grew plates from either side. The bottom plate must have been facing the wind and grew faster, leaving the smaller plate to forever remain inside that footprint. Without access to water vapour, its growth would have nearly halted – and it would be a stable environment that allows for the maintenance of near perfect symmetry… at least at the center!
Want to know how to make snowflake images like this? The equipment, techniques, and entire editing process are detailed in my 384pg hardcover book on macro photography: skycrystals.ca/product/pre-order-macro-photography-the-un... - $75 Canadian, which is roughly USD$59.50 with the current exchange rate. Ask anyone with a copy and you’ll tell you it’s worth every penny. :)
Nature representing a form of symmetry
If you view large, you can notice small white dots in the distant surface. These are birds "Súla" diving from the sky and making this splash effect.
Ef þið skoðið hana stóra má sjá hvíta depla í sjónum, en þetta eru Súlur að stinga sér eftir æti. Þetta var eins og orustuvöllur á tíma.
Somewhat annoyingly, I noticed later that the windows (in central Reykjavik) aren't actually symmetrical.

For Photo Forum's b/w 'symmetry is everywhere' challenge.
This new challenge begins 3/1 and goes through 3/14.
This is a photo of reflections on the surface of the river. The image has been mirrored and copied twice to be symmetrical. The detail is best seen full screen.
The current understanding of astrophysics is that at the beginning of the universe, the creation of matter was symmetrically balanced by the creation of anti-matter. Contact between them results in their mutual annihilation, accompanied by a massive release of energy, analogous to a nuclear explosion. The symmetry in this image could be seen as a visual metaphor for this.
