Oddly Satisfying Photos That Will Appease Any Perfectionist

Sometimes, we manage to capture something so perfect, it’s hard to believe it’s real. The resulting photos produce such satisfying results, that you can’t help but feel oddly calm. Don’t believe us? Have a look for yourself…

Satisfyingly Smooth

This cake takes the word “perfection” to a whole new level. It almost seems like it has been constructed out of glass. It’s so perfect, it would truly be a shame to even cut into it!

Central Park-fection

New York City is thought to be the perfect city by many. While it is huge and can get overwhelming, you can’t argue with its grid system – which is satisfyingly organized. This perfect line dividing the city from Central Park, which seems to stretch on for eternity, is any perfectionist’s dream realized.

Flawlessly Floral

Nature has a funny way of producing seemingly perfect things. To the human eye, which is used to man-made manufactured items, it almost seems jarring that something that occurs naturally could form in such a seemingly perfect manner. This flower almost looks like a mandala, perfectly constructed and beautiful.

Perfectly Petrifying

Often, we associate perfection with pleasurable things, like cakes and flowers. However, sometimes terrifying predators, such as snakes and pythons, can balance their menacing demeanors with a perfection that is confusingly satisfying. Perhaps this snake is trying to lull its prey into a false sense of calm before going in for the strike.

Crystal Clear

The water of Flathead Lake in Montana is the very definition of crystal clear water. It’s so clean and clear that this photo almost looks like an optical illusion. The lake is a nature conservationist’s dream. It would seem that the only ones who wouldn’t benefit from the water’s clarity are fish who want to hide from being caught.

Satisfying Sticky Note

One way to keep work exciting is with fun and colorful office supplies. Nothing keeps productivity high than rainbow colored sticky notes. That is, unless the sticky notes themselves are the cause of procrastination. The results here are so pleasing to the eye, that surely any manager would excuse the time wasted to create this perfectly pleasing creation.

On The Verge

These two massive stones seems to be right on the verge of “kissing” one another. They can be used as a metaphor for two people right on the precipice of admitting their feelings for one another, so close yet just far enough from making a real connection. Not only are these boulders a hair away from touching, they’re also on the verge of keeling over, teetering on the edge of the dirt they’re mounted on.

Perfect Timing

Although pictures of sunsets are the height of cliche, sometimes someone manages to take a sunset photo that challenges the norm. This is a perfect example, where someone perfectly capture a gorgeous colorful sunset between two apartment buildings, creating a stunning effect of color and symmetry that is worthy of art galleries.

Waves That Don’t Waver

Water has a calming effect on many people. The sound of waves brings a sense of serenity and ease. For some, the sound of crashing waves has the same effect. Here we see the water in between a calm day and a stormy variation. The waves are perfectly captured, right before they crash into oblivion, at the peak of their journey.

Employee Of The Month

Folding clothing as a sales associate can truly become the bane of your work shift. However, some people in this position take it as an opportunity to perfect their folding skills. The latter is quite apparent in this case, where the sales associate has folded shirts into symmetrical perfect that it would be a total shame for customers to come near the neatly piled stacks.

Naturally Ombre

Ombre was at the peak of fashion not too long ago. Whether it was hair, nails, or anywhere else, ombre was the go-to style for many. Nature seemed to be in on this here, as the fallen leaves have arranged themselves perfectly in an ombre color succession in the water. It begs the question, maybe the infamous fashion style actually originated from nature itself?

Flawless Forest

This forest looks like it was planned out by a military leader, as the trees are standing in perfect, single file lines, without a single branch out of line. As perfect as these trees are laid out, we can’t help but feel that this gives the forest as whole quite an eerie feel. The one comforting thought is that the straight lines make it hard to hide something, or someone, in this forest.

The Protector

There’s nothing quite like freshly fallen snow. However, the charm quickly fades away as days go by, with patches of snow laced with mud fill the city’s streets. However, some of the magic has been retained here, as the tree’s shadow protects the last bits of snow that cling on to dear life, delaying its inevitable demise by just a tad bit longer.

Sublimely Smooth

It’s rather difficult to find items in nature that are perfectly shaped. Whether you’re looking for a perfect square or circle, you’ll be pressed to find something that fits this description that occurs naturally. However, every once in a while, you may stumble upon a piece of nature that seems to defy the odds, like this perfectly round smooth stone, that looks as if it has been chiseled to perfection.

Mesmerizing Moisturizer

Pouring out a perfect shape is extraordinarily difficult. However, sometimes, when you’re not even trying, you’ll find a perfectly shaped dollop of moisturizer on the tip of your finger. It resembles a tiny little soft serve cone so much that it seems almost a shame to smear it onto the face!

Cabbage Art

This cabbage’s center forms such a beautiful design that it seems hard to believe that it was not designed by a talented artist. Its symmetry and swirly lines are reminiscent of mind-bending posters that trick your eye into thinking that it’s actually moving. Just stare into the cabbage, you’ll see that the swirl seems to be moving. Trippy, right?

Magically Perfect Mushrooms

While picking random mushrooms in a forest could lead to disastrous results, admiring these mushrooms’ perfect shape will lead to a sense of calm. Although calm is not the typical feeling associated with mushrooms, these perfect little things could be a great addition to a lovely salad if they are in fact of the edible, non-poisonous variety.

Painfully Perfect

This apple is so painfully perfect that we would suspect it. Don’t trust us? Well, have you ever seen Snow White? We know that almost nothing good can come of a seemingly perfect apple. But maybe we’re just a little bit paranoid. It could be that this perfectly shaped apple is perfectly delicious. It seems like the only way to find out is to take a bite…

Nature’s Gradient

Gradients are all the rage in design these days. Take a look around the internet, and you’ll see the gradient style all over the place. It would appear that this design trend took its inspiration from nature, as is evident in this gorgeously captured photo of the ocean reflecting the colorful sunset that is taking place above it.

Riveting Ripples

Water seems to be a great place to look for design inspiration. The natural shapes that the water takes can lead to beautiful patterns that can be replicated into art and design. In this photo, the crosshatching pattern that is created naturally by the winds is simply stunning.

Smooth Sailing

Sometimes, a product can be designed so perfectly that it makes you wonder why every product isn’t design so well. This faucet is a wonderful example of that. The water pours out perfectly, directly into one of the holes of the drain, effectively eliminating splashing and the mess that can occur from these splashes.

X-Men: Wash!

Sometimes it really takes a superhero to suck it up and be the one who washes the dishes and then put them away once they’re dry. This guy is not only putting away the clean dishes, he’s doing it Wolverine style. By grabbing four plates at a time, he’s maximizing his time while helping the greater good. That’s what we call a real superhero.

“A” Perfect Circle

Whoever this paper belongs to really does deserve an A+ for the perfect circle that was drawn around the letter A. We can see that the perfect circle was most likely a fluke, as the circles around “B” and “C” are nowhere near as nice, but hey, at least we know that perfection is attainable.
