Lol - that is one heck of an essay. Ok if this scored poorly, then my photo is crap because it scored lower than yours.

Ok here's the patterns I see, for those that fail to see them (geez):

1) Two trees connected by the double line.
2) All the little squares
3) The white lines of the cross walk.
4) The barrier sticks running along the curb. (ooh and their shadows!)

This is not a pattern thingy but I just noticed this and it's pretty cool - you have a bike, it's shadow, and then there is a white symbol of the bike in the street. Very coolies.

Great photo with lots to look at. Fun, very fun.

I'll comment before I read the other comments. I think the face is a bit dark, but because of the background, not the face on its own. My eye is drawn towards the dark area just to the left of his face, then to his face, and then it lingers on the brighter background. If the background were not as bright the face would probably be fine. As far the picture itself, you've captured a great smile, and I really like how he's sort of peeking out from beneath the hood.

I'm such a fan of the texture overlays... this caught my breath.... stunning and captivating. Perfect, wish I took it...

Comment by SaraR:
This is superb - the strong dynamic diagonal composition is what first impresses, and then the placement of the 'actors' within the frame, which could not be bettered if you had stage managed it! The lines leading the eye around the frame mean that the viewer lingers, discovering more and more visual treats. I love the ambiguity of the title - pedestrian as a noun or as an adjective? For me, the title concentrates my mind on the individual crossing the road - what intrigues me is his head-bowed shadow. So much to see and enjoy - one for my favourites, to return to again and again.

Great processing job, like the way his in-focus eye stands out from the rest (and much more so than in the original image)

Fantastic job with the processing, it really makes an average flower from the garden stand out! Fantastic work!

Oooooooh. . .this is very cool too. I am growing and growing in my appeal towards the overlays. This looks so old timey, like a greeting card. Beautiful.

Deb!!! Wow! This is SO pretty! A sea of soft dreamy pink with beautiful daisy petals poking out of the softness. And such little processing. I'm so jealous. I can never get flower shots to look like this.
