I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s really hard to beat a stunningly symmetrical structure that happens to also perfectly mirror itself on an also-perfectly symmetrical lawn, and you should 100% get that token photo if you can. But, don’t forget that angles, lighting, and less-photo-bombers can make a less-looked-at side as stun...
