I enjoy the symmetry of the two half-pots, but I do see what you're saying about the potential of having the entire pot on the right balance the wheel. In all honesty, I don't think I was paying much attention to these elements while shooting. I was most concerned with trying to get a straight-on, symmetrical look at the shed and stonework, with a hint of the environment on the sides, while trying to capture a nice moment in her expression. As an aside, I have been trying to remember to look for vertical opportunities for the past several weeks since you pointed out how rarely I shoot verticals. I think I've come away with a few nice shots I might not have otherwise seen, so thank you for the kick-in-the-pants you gave me! Best, Phong.
