Description
Ever since the Photography Forum sponsored a month long search for symmetry in photographic settings, I find myself still looking for it.
Hence this posting. The only thing out of whack are the two people. LOL.
Hope you enjoy the fountain in front of the Union Railroad Station (opened 1913) in Kansas City, Missouri.

Super photo. Beautiful fountain. Very near symmetrical.

excellent capture! I usually wait patiently for people going away, if possible, but unfortunately sometimes stronger measures would be needed to make them disappear! ;D)

The perfectly positioned POV gives this image a distinct mirror image effect, Bill. Everything looks so perfectly in tune, in sync, well manicured, and well kept, it stretches the credulity to believe that such an immaculate place exists. Stellar from start to finish on this one.

I love looking at places like this ..after all I'm from a small farm town ...no street lights whatsoever in the whole county!

Hey Bill awesome photo. Fountains are mostly so cool. I ran across one that wasn't, prior to that I thought they were all cool. Great photo and positioning.

Wonderful job on this Bill the addition of the figure adds much to the grand scale of the majestic building

I love the Beaux Arts columns! Wonderful architecture, and a great symmetry shot.

now this was an automatic favorite. First because symmetry—at least in painting—is hard to work with, it makes its own statement and an artist has to look deeper than the symmetry itself so as not to let it 'take over' (symmetry's a hog, basically, even though it can do a lot of work 'for' the artist). But most of all because of the tone of the facade: Whoooooo...I can't tell you how fine those hue-tones are. When you consider that facades always change colors due to the sun/clouds/atmosphere/pollution, etc, photographers & painters are called to 'wrest' the permanent color out of that changing facade; and they can capture any number of tones & shades as they do so. You got a perfect & exquisite beige alabastar/marble-ish tone, it's so beautifully caught with such beautiful subtlety, it just knocks me out. I know, it's a small thing, but it's the centerpiece of the shot, and it's poetic, I rarely see those tones so beautifully preserved with the camera. Those columns have it, they have the tone the architects no doubt wanted. And the capture of the high windows (& their reflections) to each side is beautiful too, as is your composition with shadow at top, etc (and the fountain placed so well in front). As for the people, maybe HBO will do a documentary about them one day, when their grandkids'll say, "grandma was just eating her lunch—little did she know that she'd start a revolution for ruining a great train-station shot. She spent the rest of her life in seclusion...she never got over it...." (Cue sad music...) Whaddya gonna do? Unless you're a big film crew who can shut down a whole city, you're stuck! They give nice life to the shot! And oh, those tones...I love this shot!

No, No, No! The people make the picture complete in this case, Bill! The fountain looks great as well. Great colours. I just not too sure about the banner, myself. But, thats just me.... Otherwise, top stuff! Rob.
