Having just joined the forums, and having entered in many flickr photo contests over the past few months including titles such as "patterns", i am disappointed by the content here.

I'm looking forward to #24 though.. That looks like an interesting one!

I think most of the pictures are well made, although pattern is not the strongest characteristic of each picture. Nevertheless I do like a lot of the creativity and the eye for patterns in the pictures.
And, if one is thinking of being able to shoot better pictures, join in next time, :-).

Great Diversity

I found the varied interpretation of "pattern"quite interesting. It was an easy vote, for me

Some the photos are quite vibrant. However, pattern is not so obvious in many of them.
As has been said, some thought has gone into the macro shots and a few of the results are quite stunning in their own right.
Macro opens up a whole world of patterns and I dont think it has been demonstrated here.
For all of that - 3 of the photos get my vote...

I enjoyed the shots put out here. My Pentax is in the shop and I could not submit for this one. However, I did vote.

I think there is too much talk over whether things meet a definition of "pattern" and not enough pure enjoyment over the pictures submitted. I wonder if the original creators of #14 gave approval for their artwork to be displayed in this forum? Don't you think they would be amazed (or frightened) at this technology called photography? Just rambling. Have a great day.

Thank you to the individuals who took the time to take the shots and enter them. I found all of the shots to be well done. However, i was able to select three which i thought were the best.

Funny after reading the comments made on this voting thread I am stunned by the images submitted. I read the comments before looking at the photos submitted because that is the way I have my threads arranged for viewing. I enjoyed viewing all the submissions for this theme. Interesting how critical some folks are of others work. There are definitely more than 3 that I would pick. Narrowing it down to three is going to take me some time and thought.

Some of the interpretation of "pattern" is beguiling but the shots are all well done, for such a theme I anticipated much more symmetry and repetition. I love some of the macros, and the simplicity of some of the others. Well done everyone - I will submit an entry one day when I consider myself good enough
