I'm glad that you like it Yes, the bench and other tree really help this photo. I think I know what you mean... too much symmetry can detract from it's natural aspects and lose the flow when viewing. In this photo I did leave the main tree slightly off center. But when I looked at it later, I would've preferred it a bit more to the right. Oh well, maybe there'll be a next time xD

You're welcome Yeah, and symmetry is good, and good for a lot of things, but sometimes if something like a photo is too symmetrical then it becomes... boring? Which is why asymmetry is good. So making the subjects off center, or take them at different or odd angles to make it pop out at the viewer in an interesting and new way. I've had asymmetry beat into my head from graphic design school. Not that I always follow it. XP But your photo is good since it's got three subjects, not just one

For sure! It's nice how asymmetrical photos make one think more about what's happening in the photo. Asymmetry seems to tell a better story

Oh I bet they did. Especially for graphic design!

Oh yeah, that was one main thing my professor always looked for in my work or anyone else's. "THAT'S SYMMETRICAL!! Fix that!!!!" hehe
