The absolute lack of symmetry in EVERYTHING in this photo is disturbing my CDO ( OCD in alphabetical order )

I think I'd want some cushions...

I urge the OP to delete this thread.

That would be a queen plank.

[Ted Hoppe]

I bet the slim frames need constant attention. maybe a good candidate for a plastic encapsulation project.

[LeeG]

I like the planks to have kind of a herringbone pattern.

Wabi Sabi?

[Joe (SoCal)]

Wabi Sabi?

I love the concept of Wabi Sabi and the whole broken bowls are beautiful: The acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of appreciating beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete" in nature

But when you look at true Wabi Sabi you see this broken made whole and more beautiful. It’s different than this image which is just slightly off in every aspect, just slight cocked, the model is slightly off, the boat is slightly cocked to the right. It’s like a frame hun just crooked enough to make you want to straitened it.

So... you insist on 'formal' symmetry, and are uncomfortable with 'informal'?

More like I appreciate a full cocked image than a slightly cocked image you want to adjust.

I bet you can find a local 12-step group to help with your Désordre Obsessionnel Compulsif (DOC) <G>

You ARE in SoCal, after all.

Asking for a friend: Is that the best phrasing to use in a thread with this title?

[Joe (SoCal)]

FWIW my friend, best man, and roommate is a brilliant photographer, he’s shot for all the major fashion rags but I like his off center better than the op IMHOP

THAT was the first thing I noticed.

Q. Foster once went on a sail on Tidbit with me and admonished me that my sheet lines were not properly twisted on their cleats. I never made that mistake again - FWIW she wrote the book on sailing Etiquette.

Till this day I Flemish all dock lines.

Well at least the Flemished lines under the OP Models head act as a pillow for her boney noggin

The line is a goof-ball lead any way you look at it.

Can't see how Joe & I batting around issues of composition & OCD would add to that total. But you do have a point.

One example - here in the NW, with our wet weather, I will coil lines in the mostly dry summer months when the lines are getting used more often, and there's more foot traffic (including by lubbers) which escalates the potential for rolling a foot an a loose line. But not when the rains start - for reasons mentioned.
