1. 1 and 4

2 and 5 we've seen before (or variants)and 3 is a bit too soft focus for my taste (YMMD). 4 is adorable and 1 is glorious.

3. I have to admit a certain amout of confusion over 'Symmetry'

The entries so far are adding to my confusion.

I relate the literal use of this word to geometry and design. The loose definition for photography/art would be balance and/or harmony. Using this loose definition I would assume that almost any photograph would fall under the theme of Symmetry.

Is it groups of two? Is it harmony and/or balance? Does it have some other meaning?

All that said. I like #1.

My entry isn't about physical symmetry, but the balance between light and dark. Dark defines the light.

The night blooming flower shines at night with a light that is visible to the pollinator.

A rejected image.
