Repetition

Comment:
Lighting and shading are good, focal point is well defined. Pattern is obvious. Well met challenge. For me, though, something is missing. There is just not the Wow. It's like the difference between an A and an A+. Slight, subtle, but makes all the difference in the world.

Almost an optical illusion at this angle. In fact, I really had to concentrate on the balconies to bring them out into the foreground. So if that was your intent...bravo.

Zig Zag

The symmatry of this is exactly what a pattern should be. There doesn't need to be repetition, but there should be a sense of sameness.

Many patterns to see here. Did you play with lighting at all? I see the backlighting, what about front lighting pointed up into the shade? And the most shocking of all...putting in soft bulb and lighting it with itself?

The long thin shadow near the bottom front sort of cuts the flow of the sand pattern.

Interesting architectural design. Perhaps cropping so that the building startes right at the right edge.

Could the focus have been tighter? Also the colors seem unnaturally dark.

Super-Streamers

There is so much that could have been done with this to make it extraordinary; such as changing the angle to elongate the leading lines, or playing with the focal point, or even taking the shot backwards into the convex side of the streamer. But, I feel like you came across this and thought "well, that works" put it in the challenge and then went on to playing with the more spectacular shots you got that day.

Rectangle Patterns 4

The shadow of the light post, cuts your pattern and stops the flow of this shot. If the actual railing were not so dark and more easily seen against the shadows and the ground the light post wouldn't be such a problem.

Imo, this stretches "pattern." There is a loose "sameness" which is part of the definition of a pattern, but I think it is almost to loose.
