Amazing amoeba,or one of those seed-pods that turns wooden and brown when dried?
Beautiful greens!

Right, it's the pistil of a lotus blossom.

no comment for the technique: perfect!
you've been at the good place at the good time!
I love it!

Excellent!!!

This is wicked!!! Wow, wow, wow!

great tones and contrast!

fantastic, no more to say, fantastic

great contrasting colors. very well seen.

Awesome colors and great texture on the wall! The contrast betwenn the straight horizontal lines of the wall and the curves lines of the car (?) are a good eye-catcher!

There are many things i really like about this - the positioning and vibrancy of the colours, the dark shadows and blisters of paint. It is often difficult to spot this sort of thing from a distance, well done.

Thank you. This photo is quite old: the car is a 2CV...
:o)

wonderful colors

excellent! well done! colours and composition: fine!
(is the line between ground and wall predefined? Or did you arrange the scene?)

Hm, I'm not sure if understand what exactly you mean. But one thing is for sure: I did not arrange anything when taking this picture.

so: extra compliments! I thought this scene could be arranged in a studio.
again: wonderful picture!

(the line: corner between wall and bottom)

Really nice!

lovely silhouettes.

nice silhouettes and the mood works beautiful. is this erfurt?

Right guess, it's Erfurt in Germany!

Wow !
Really great !

Definitely one of the most interesting in Symmetry that I've seen. Great job!

Thank you all again! Symmetry is on of our most popular topics when taking photos and it lies so much beauty and peace in symmetric photos...

I actually think the post-processing employed in this image works very well; it really makes the most of the metallic material of the walls.

Very nice capture.

The quality is bad. There's no really sharp point or level in the image and the expoure time was too long to have the "freezed" look on the water and too short to have a foggy/silky look. Colors also aren't interesting at all. Sorry, doesn't work for me in any way.

There is potential here, and the composition isn't bad, with the "point" of the falls and the missile-shaped rock playing off one another. Some things to consider next time:

A longer shutter speed for a more elegant look to the water.

Cropping up a good inch to inch and a half from the bottom; there's not a lot going on below the missile-shaped rock.

I'd also come down a bit from the top; that's an awful lot of grass up there.

Finally, it looks as though your jpeg is so compressed, much of the image quality is lost. Try a less compressed version next time.

I agree with the prior comments. This is over exposed by at least 1/2 stop.

Yeah agreed. The thumbnail looked good, but I'm disappointed with the lack of sharpness.

Nice one but personally I don't like the "exit" sign.
:)

Reality isn't perfect ;)

That's right ;)

My favorite so far out of the group! It almost looks like an illustration, which is awesome.

Oh, that one really is a great symmetric photo! Would have worked rotated 90° clockwise also, because that woul be even more puzzling.

wow ! I see it as a FLAWLESS symmetric photo!

Wow! Thanks for the great comments everyone.

you shoot it in weimar. nice captured and i like the processing too.

Ha, you're from Weimar and noticed it? OK, at this intersection, right next to the "Forum" it's clearly visible. We were playing a concert in Weimar the day I shot it.

Thanks for your appreciation!

Finally, someone posts something which *actually* depicts Urban Decay! This is fantastic, so much to study and look at. Well done, on this feature Jens & Erik.

I totally agree with Andrew...fantastic photo. How sad to see such a lovely building destroyed this way. True "urban decay" great photo for this category.
