*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
Congratulations on winning with this image hat fits the challenge well.
Your title sums it up well, such symmetry! I find the whole scene so disturbingly unreal it looks more like an architects model. A normal sort of street with modern houses either side and then plonked at the end of the street between them such an unlikely church in such an unlikely setting. Nowhere, any signs of life, at all, it all seems so spookily unreal to me, its really weird.
Anyway, as for the execution, you've certainly nailed the symmetry perfectly, well done. It's so perfect I have had to double check that its not a mirrored image, its not, the differences are very subtle indeed. You seem to have an extraordinary DOF for maximum aperture though you will have been at the 17mm end for sure. The dark sky at the top balances well with the darkness of the rod at the bottom.
Anyway, well done. It's a shame you seem to inactive again, I hope you return soon, Sid |

Awesome place and great job photographing it. I like how there's no people in the scene, it's just peaceful and serene under the softly overcast sky with some darkness at the top to hold it all in. |

Love this one! The extraordinary within the row of ordinary houses, really works for me. |

East meets West...sort of. Like the contradictions in this. |

The fenced in areas a little distracting, particularly on the left. Otherwise I really like this one. |

Pity about those ugly fences, but great shot and for me perfect b&w conversion. |
