Description: It's a whole lot harder to find symmetry if you remove the prospect of reflecting, but it can be done. Have a go at it this week!
Extra Rules: Submissions using reflective surfaces of any kind to attain symmetry will be disqualified.

I have no idea what this means.. the first part, I took and understood exactly what would disqualify you LOL
I am so lost on what they want..what does this mean?

Photograph something symmetrical. You can't use a reflection to cause the symmetry.

This is a challenging challenge. It'll make you really look hard for your subject.

I have never photographed anything weird like this before

This is going to take a lot of creativity LOL!

Symmetry isn't really weird. It just means that the left looks like the right, or the top looks like the bottom. You'll find it in nature, architecture, and all sorts of places. You just need to look for it. It's there.

Why should it be so hard?

In one of the previous challenges none of the top 10 were a reflection.

So how do you think using refraction to obtain symmetry would be viewed by the voters?

I live in the most symmetric city in America and maybe the world so this should be easy.

I think it would get the gong from many, to be honest.
