For me, this needs to be entirely in focus to make a graphic impact. The blurred areas don't make enough of a statement yet they occupy the majority of the frame. On the plus side, you effectively isolated a single area of pattern, which to my mind is how to make a good photographic statement about pattern.

Good subject and effective cropping to isolate a single area of pattern.

Good idea and nice composition but your focus is too soft.

I like that you isolated the subject very effectively from the background. I just wish you had pulled in a lot closer. This little leaf surrounded by so much empty space doesn't quite make a bold enough statement for me.

This is a nice subject and you've isolated the pattern quite effectively. The details are nearly blown out, sadly. There needs to be more tonal contrast for the pattern to have maximum impact.

I like that you shot from a less obvious point of view to really isolate the pattern that attracted you. Great effort.

Wild Goose Chase on Christmas Morning

This looks rather like a nice snapshot to me. I don't really get a sense of pattern from it. If you were attracted to the pattern of the goose's feathers than a tighter crop to isolate a single area of the goose is necessary to make a statement about that. I'm not sure if that is what you were aiming at because it really isn't clear in this shot----I'm just making an educated guess.

It's a very familiar shot but so you don't get high marks for creativity. However, this is lovely and well done.

I like the colors and the pattern. I feel like there could be sharper focus on the metal.

I don't care much for the greenish cast I'm seeing on my monitor but I like the interesting radiating lines. There is perhaps a bit too much blank space at the left corner.
