Photography Composition

                                    
Bilateral Symmetry: I took this picture of a dog. This picture has bi-lateral symmetry. If the image were cut in half it would almost identically mirror each other, making the image symmetrical. Additionally this photo has a shallow depth of field.


Radial Symmetry: I took this picture of a purple flower. This picture's flower contains radial symmetry, extending out from the central axis. This photo also has a shallow depth of field.


Asymmetrical: I went on this hike and took this picture from the side of the mountain. I felt like this picture contains asymmetrical balance because of the defined mountain on the left and the clouds and sunlight coming in on the left. While different on both sides, the image is balanced by the edge of the mountain still visible on the top left corner.  Also this picture was taken with at with a small f-stop, giving it a very long depth of field.
