Description
This is the shot I was going for when I ended up behind the lamp post here
This is the old Chicago Public Library.
Even standing in the perfect spot, I still had to do a little "warp" in Photoshop to get the perfect symmetry I was going for.
There's nothing inherently good about symmetry, but sometimes a little challenge is good for the soul.

Looks like a nice OLD building Tara. I think we may been there on one of our trips to the city.

Well, I like symmetry alot, that is why I have made alot of postcards with symmetry. Not that I use them, LOL but I like to create them. :) I find this shot very beautiful. Also the soft effect.

I'm an unconditional fan of symmetry. Not sure if the result would have turned out the way i imagine it could, but on this picture i would have applied a lens correction, vertical perspective.

A wonderful picture of this neo-classical beauty. It was completed in 1897 and is now the Chicago Cultural Center.

I don't believe anyone covld make this more symmetrical! It is sqvare, and balanced on every side. The only difference I was able to spot was in the position of the street lamps, and I wovld conclvde that error was dve to favlty electrical installation! Yov done good!

Yeah, it's darn annoying when those lamp posts jump in front of the camera that way..... :-P A lovely shot of this building, Tara!

We really should do something about those lamp posts wandering into people's shots. They've gotten worse this autumn. I think they're breeding or something because there seem to be more of them, but only when you're pointing your camera at something. And you know what? I hadn't realized that this place is as symmetrical as it is. Of course, I was usually too busy moving dental equipment into the building that was directly behind you as you took this shot. A cute security guard, named Amit, from Bosnia works in that building, and well...what would Chicago be without cute Bosnian guys in suits? Anyway, I love this shot and the symmetry is amazing. Very neo-classical, or in the 21st Century, Post-neo-post Classical, or whatever they're calling it these days. This is brilliant and full zoom is a must. There's a chandelier in the middle window, and I can't tell if it's native to that building or the one behind you-the-photographer, but it's quite a compelling mystery to marvel at. This is super.
