Succulents and Symmetry

I always like taking photos of succulents - interesting shape, forms, colour, symmetry and glossy surfaces. Just gorgeous!

Succulents in black and white...

Succulents from my garden, gorgeous in black and white. To me succulents are interesting because of their pattern, symmetry and their sculptural forms.
 I've enhanced this photo with a lighting effect to increase the tonal variation and add visual interest. This has created 3 main zones - a lighter central area, and the darker triangles in the top LHS and lower RHS corners.  

More lines in Nature….

Lots of interesting lines in this image of succulents. And a lovely pastel colour scheme happening here too!

Colour gradations in Nature….

 This succulent is a beautiful example of a colour gradation in nature. The photo was taken with my phone while I was out for my morning walk. This garden is on a busy road, and the dust speckled over the leaves create a pattern that adds visual interest.

This is how the same plant would look underwater!  Another nice colour gradation…
