Art speaks differently to different people.

Sort of abstract interpretation of the challenge, but well executed.

Miniture Camo

Comment:
The pink of the skin offsets the green of the turtle nicely. It is easy to see the patterns on the animal. My question is sort of nit-picky, were there other ways to show this animal? The fingers all splayed out are sort of a secondary subject and they don't really fit (other than to show the size of the animal). It sort of minimizes the effect of the natural patterns on the turtle.

Silent Movie

So, are you wanting us to look past the obvious vertically linear pattern into the abstract ones in the reflection? I'm guessing so as the title sort of indicates that. My problem is the general lack of depth. Everything is demanding my attention at once and it is almost too much visually.

This is an interesting idea. I'm not sure that the straight on angle is the best, but at least the bulb is not smack dab centered.

Interesting view of the power line tower. I wonder how it feel to be on a train zooming underneath these.

This is just me, but I would have liked to see the entire circle (chrome one), not just a portion. The concentric circles are a pattern as well as the "blades."

With a little research, I found your pattern.

Very cute. Wish it weren't winter and the grass was greener. But you can't control that.

Diagonal Lines

Comment:
WOW!!!! This shot is head's and shoulders above the rest of the field in technique and presentation. The colors are brilliant, the focus is spot on, there is no drift. Everything that is here, is here for a reason. I would suggest tilting the other direction. Trick the eye into following gravity to hint at more speed. My biggest problem, is this a pattern? Is a diagonal line a pattern, not in the geometric sense, but this isn't about geometetry. Is the car a pattern, in the abstract...yes, but this shot is certainly not an abstract. The wheels are a pattern, but they are obviously not the subject. I am so confused about what to do with this. It most certainly does not deserve DNMC, because intrepretation is loose and vague, but is this a 10 (technically, absolutely)?
