@dailyshoot: 2010/03/09: Most of us enjoy some symmetry in our lives. Look around for it today and make a symmetrical photo. (via @melhutch) #ds114
I was flailing around the house this morning trying to find some symmetry (my house is too messy for that kind of organization), and just on a whim I placed two wooden spoons on my cutting board, and then thought to slide number 3 in.
I really like it now!
I did not plan on having so many spoons, but when my friend did some tile work in my kitchen, behind the stove was a whole collection of them.
dibytes (back online, will get caught up), josie lynn richards, i4_1, lelahwithanh, and 3 other people added this photo to their favorites.

Yep, the third one does the trick -- turns an ordinary shot into an extraordinary one. Different take on symmetry. (Also, a tad erotic. )

@konarheim - good point about symmetry.
@cogdogblog - have used this in a blog post here:

Nothing special, just a note for myself and family.
Is symmetry in uneven numbers called tesselation?

Thanks @bfchirpy - I have to say this is one of my own favorite photos, mainly because it was just an idea I did with barely thinking, and it turned out better than I visioned.
I think tessellation is more about filling a space with a single shape, repeated
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessellation
Symmetry here is not defined by the objects but the pattern they make- if your draw a line along the middle of the middle spoon, you have symmetry
