Great lines. Feels right. Love the trees but especially like the little weed in the middle.

I've stared at this for a long while and I can't see the symmetry. I think I'm going blind...

I don't know about symmetry, but this is beautiful implied scenery

Comment by tanguera:
Doesn't quite adhere to the symmetry requirement, but this is a fascinating image. The location, the pp'g. Very difficult to hit the "next" button

After some effort searching, finally I saw the dog. I also saw the light, the dappling of which enables the excellent camouflage, which is also made possible by cunningly going black and white. The square format works well. Altogether, a winning, handsome image.
One of three personal favorites in this challenge.

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An interesting image that is assumed to meet the challenge.

I get the chance to comment again! My original comments still stand but I will try and a little more to them and beyond that on looking again I'm finding a lot of blown highlights, in particular around the boy's head, that are diminishing the image's appeal for me. The background behind him is distracting too and would benefit from a crop. But, having said all that the original essence of the image is still there, their wonderful poses and attention out of the frame, it still works wonderfully well.

Thanks for your submission and apologies for the delay, Sid
