Had to give this a 1 for DNMC. Normally I would -3 but since in this case, the theme was a hard and fast rule totally within the control of the photographer, I'm forced to be a little more harsh.
I fail to understand how this does not meet the criteria!!
I'm having difficulty finding the element of artificial symmetry.
Well I don't understand your point here. The challenge was for artificial symmetry and these are not natural creations. So I thought it fits very well within the challenge requirements.
Interesting take on symmetry - the same, but different. A very good example of outside the box thinking. This isn't a manipulated image so it should get high marks for being naturally symmetric - even the lighting from the left is symmetric. Excellent entry.
