This week our iPhone photography contest was about symmetry. As always, it wasn’t easy to pick the winners and many great photos had to be left out. With that said, here are my personal favorites this week.

Please consider sharing this post on social media to show the world what the iPhone camera can do and help me share these photos with as many people as possible. Thank you!
Which one of these photos is your favorite? Please let everyone know in the comments.
The New Contest Theme
The new contest theme is VSCO photo editing, and you can submit any photos that were post-processed in the VSCO app. Check out our VSCO video tutorials if you need help getting started. To get the most out of VSCO, it might be a good idea to purchase the 38 preset collection for $5.99.
To participate tag your best iPhone photos using #IPSVSCO hashtag on Instagram.
Your Instagram has to be public or I won’t see your photos. It’s OK to submit old photos as well as new ones, but please do not submit more than 10 photos. All photos must be shot and edited on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. I do not feature photos with watermarks.
The winners will be featured on this blog and on my Instagram on Sunday, January 19.

Thank you so much, Emil! This is very affirming and it helps me build the habit of taking photos everyday. 🙂

Tracy Norris Yates says
My faves are @johnmcle (would love to know post processing steps in that one) and @hugocervantes, beautiful curved lines.
Emil Pakarklis says
Those tow are great!
John McLean says
To be honest there wasn’t much post processing required, the picture just worked well. I tried focusing on the background, but focusing on the image in the glass worked better. I think I used iPhoto for editing. I wanted to emphasise the clouds, using the exposure controls, probably increased the saturation a bit, and finally cropped the image to suit Instagram, when I heard about the competition.
It’s very gratifying that other people like it too! Thanks.

Really great selection Emil. My favorite is the photo of the two girls in the window by @sullvja. Thanks for doing these contests. Very inspiring.
Emil Pakarklis says
Thanks David! I also thought there’s something special about that photo.
