Challenge 5. Create a Symmetrical Image

Description

Create an image all about symmetry, and don’t be too subtle. Mirror your subjects to make them perfectly symmetrical. Or mirror the scene. Or pose your subjects so they mimic each other. Or choose a location with nice symmetry that creates a peaceful moment. Choose what you want to be symmetrical, and compose your image around it, literally and figuratively!
