How Many Patterns?

Comment by plastictv:
Each pattern is fighting for attention, resulting in loss of focus. And the picture would be vastly improved if taken on a cloudy day.

Its a great idea to show the shrinking environment in this very literal way, and for that i'd give you a high score but the actual image is not as good.

Excellent capture - love the colors! Even if someone weren't familiar with the PMOW - I think the fact that it looks like a blob of rainbow jelly kinda hints that it's sticky! I like the comp but you might have taken some hits from the knee-jerk-centered-subject-haters. Great find - and your processing is really bringing out the wow in all your photos lately. I'm glad because they are really wow-worthy :)

As a photo...it's cool. Nice use of the expert rules. For meeting the challenge...yes, I see and agree with your message but it would be lost in the photo without a title. Otherwise, it would just seem like a fun picture.

Be carefull when taking photos with sunlight. Often it is better to have a overcast sky.

Interesting, but your "planet" effect looks flat...maybe you were going for that idea, but I would have preferred the spherical look.
