Pretty. I like the color. It is a bit blown out around the edges and I think the background areas should have been cropped out.

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.

Branches

This is another case of too many patterns competing with each other in a single frame. We have the pattern of tree branches, the pattern of the clouds, the pattern of sun rays, and finally the pattern of the utility lines. It's just too busy to make a strong 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.

Nice simple pattern and texture. I'd like focus on the entire image, however, and the triangle of black at the bottom right corner should be cropped out.

Cool idea for the challenge. The papery looking background on either side ruins this for me.

Very nice. I like the tilted frame. I just wish there was a bit mroe contrast between the dark and middle tones.

Nice and simple. It shows a thoughtful eye for pattern. I think there could be a bit less of the empty black space in the frame though. Just curious but did you consider experimenting with rotating the frame in post-editing? Sometimes a more interesting composition emerges in abstract shots like these.

Neon Light

A good effort ruined by including the lighter head. It isn't neccessary for an effect image and it breaks up an otherwise pleasing abstraction of shape and color. The other beef is the whole image needs to be in sharp focus.

Green in a Roll

This is way too busy and incomprehensible. Isolating a single object against a simple background would be much more effective. I have no idea what those dried-up looking green things with the mints are but they sure aren't helping this composition. The drawing in the foreground area, particularly the staring eyes are drawing a lot of focus too no effect.
