Hey guys, thank you all for your votes and participations
Congrats to @mi7rennie for the second place and @MrDrem hope you will help with thevoting again :)
Since some of you gave away your votes yesterday i started thinking of a new theme in case i won.
I went back and forth with this, at first i was thinking a "fill the frame" theme, then the opposite kinda like an "empty space" theme. Then my Facebook wall was filled with the Oscars so i started thinking about a cinematic theme. Which led me to my favourite director Stanley Kubrick.
Among some of his techniques in filming was the use of symmetry and one point perspective. This can of course be applied to photography so this is the theme.
So about the theme. Post a photo that shows that technique, symmetry (some say Kubrick wanted to show that we are "trapped" in symmetry, so showing something trapped in symmetry would be great), one point perspective as Kubrick used in films like the Shining, Full metal Jacket, space odyssey and A Clockwork Orange. Cinematic crop optional :)
