Good subject and nice isolation of pattern from distracting background. My beefs are it is a bit overexposed and the cropping is too tall and narrow.

A good idea. I wish you had shown it much bigger. You've wasted a lot of your pixel allotment on the ugly black border.

Dane County, Wisconsin Courthouse

This is a pretty dull subject. I think what may have initially attracted you was the windows and the pattern they make. My suggestion is that a tighter crop of that area, in order to isolate the not-so-interesting stuff (like the modern concrete blocks and the lettering) would make a more interesting photograph.

Cyclamen Leaves

This is a rather overexposed. I like the subject of the leaves. My suggestion is that a single leaf needs to fill the frame, rather than the whole plant, to really show off the pattern on the leaves. If the intent was to show the pattern the leaves make together than an more overhead angle of view is needed along with a much tighter crop to eliminate any other details (like the mulch and the wall, etc),

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.

I like the subject and the focus seems sharp. I kind of wish the crop wasn't so tall and narrow. It feels a bit cramped to me.

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

Pattern of Nature

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.
