I'm new to this, so I havn't had any good ideas yet. The catagory, however, does not seem too broad. It would seem like it's asking for a picture that shows a high amount of proportionailty or that it's highly propotional. Other people have mentioned the golden rectangle. This rectangle has the golden ratio, which is a ratio that many things in nature exhibit, from a sea shell to the human body. The greeks and romans used it in their buildings, and thought it was the most appealing ratio. The most famous example of this is the Pantheon. However, this isn't really helpful to get an idea, but maybe it'll help people have photos that are on topic.

PS. i'm a "native" english speaker, my spelling/grammar is terrible though
