Symmetry

This isn't a very good photo except it displays symmetry very well. I took it before sunrise so the light wasn't very good but it came out fairly well in that regard despite the low light. This buck was patiently waiting for his lady love to be ready to accept him. Not much going on. But I noticed how balanced and symmetrical his antlers were so I went through the series I took of him and decided on this one displayed what I saw the best. If you look closely at his rack and then picture him moving his head slightly to his left (CCW), I think both sides of his rack would merge into one. They are pretty close to carbon copies of each other. Other than that nothing remarkable. I did play around some with the sliders to try and make him pop a bit better from the BG and did a little cloning of distracting veg. Comments and critiques are appreciated.

I think you might be letting the air out of the tires a bit if your preamble on a photography critique forum starts with "This isn't a very good photo". :biggrin: The symmetry of the antlers is remarkable I agree.
