Inconsistent Petal Patterns

Nice tight crop isolates a single pattern. Good. Rather blown out details and faded looking color. Bad.

Bill's Gate...no not really

A nice subject for the challenge. The background needs to be blurred quite a bit more and the shadow details on the rails are blown out.

Ahhh! You left some kind of stamp in the lower right corner of the frame! I like the idea here although it is verging on business. I'm wondering if a vertical format isoloating a single one of those lamp areas might have been more effective. I don't think the neon sign is adding much in terms of pattern.

The indistiguishable area to the left of the frame really detracts from the simplicity of this image.

A nice idea that could use a bit more work. The glare on the leaves is what really wrecks this for me. The background that is visible in three corners of the frame is a minor nit compared to that.

Natures Pattern

A good idea and thoughtful composition. The foreground needles look a bit blown out and the area at the top right of the frame distracts me a bit. Still, one of the better efforts I've seen so far.

Dots

This is a clever and appealing shot. I like the blue eye echoing the dots of the fabric. Nice tight crop eliminates distracting details.

Wrap Of The Season

An interesting idea. I think an infinite depth of field would have been more effective---it would have flattened the image into a single plane which I think would be create a more striking pattern. The blurry areas aren't reallly doing much for me.

Hey, What Are You Looking At?

This seems to be more about the birds than pattern. The pattern is just background. A tighter well focused crop isolating a single area of the patterned wall would have made a stronger statement about pattern.

Ripples

I like this quite a bit as a portrait of childhood. However, the ripples don't really stand out enough for me to suggest pattern. I think a tight crop of the water taken at a side angle to capture the play of light, shadow, and reflection would have revealed more about the patterns that water makes. This photo really is more about the baby.
