When I went through the challenge voting, I didn't notice the strong symmetry. I just saw the side benches. Looking at it again it really looks like the symmetry subject is more about the metal frame. I think I might have missed this at first glance because the picture is bottom heavy. Not sure why I didn't really see the strong correlation before. A terrific image.

The lighting on the first one is exceptional, maybe the other two a bit overexposed (not much). Together it is a great triptych. I like the grittyness and the different angles.

Nice title but I think this would have worked better with just the top picture alone.

The basic idea is sound. However, the processing leaves too little contrast and too little for me to focus on. Perhaps radically increasing the contrast and adjusting the brightness to highlight specific elements of each photo would help.

This is basically well done; I'd have gone with a little less DOF I think... Unfortunately the subject itself just isn't all that interesting to me.

Well considered composition, with good focus and exposure, but a dull subject that has resulted in, for me, a relatively uninteresting photograph.

Fairly boring shot i'm afraid for me. Dull colours, and you've cut half of the subject off.
