Challenge: Symmetry IV (Advanced Editing VII)
Collection: Challenges 2011
Camera: Canon EOS-7D
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS
Location: Dockweiler Beach
Date: Oct 26, 2011
Date Uploaded: Oct 27, 2011

 If you visit Dockweiler Beach near (in?) El Segundo, you are on the outgoing flight path for LAX. If you're in the right spot, you can look straight up, and hope no one flushes....

Very disorienting from this view, I think. But definitely symmetrical!

The original:

Alternative possibilities:



11th is such a cool finishing position - it's the blue ribbon of the second page! :-)

congrats Deb, there is something very artsy about this seemingly very mundane thing. Like those everyday objects you see in contemporary art museums.

Congrats on topping page 2, with Techo, myself, Wendy, and Ben on it! :)

That's awesome, Deb! Way to go! I would have scored it higher if you didn't clone out the pigeons. :P

Great shot and a wonderful finish! And, yes, I have been to Dockweiler Beach. The only thing your shot is missing is the roar of those engines!
