Nice variety well done all , was not (never is) an easy choice.

nex1 · 08-11-2008, 09:16 PM

Many awesome macro's! Gave me some great ideas for myself! 2 of my 3 were macros.

iliks · 08-11-2008, 09:20 PM

Some are not bad, but overall they are very cliched. Sorry.

suro · 08-11-2008, 09:26 PM

Just usual photos...

juliank100d · 08-11-2008, 10:32 PM

Agreed, couple of good ones, most are average

Bramela · 08-11-2008, 11:28 PM

Fair enough comment, but I just hope those who think they are average have entries and that they are better than most.

Neat selection - something to learn from in most of them.

I think the term 'average' relates to the overall interpretation of the theme of 'patterns', not necessarily the quality of the images presented. When voting I looked at the images to see what I interpret as a pattern, which is not the same as everyone else.
I wish I could take images like these. I do not have the photographers 'eye' ...yet, but I know what I like in an image and here I am looking for a pattern.

Bonjour,

How incredible a single word "pattern" could be so nicely illustrated

As always, it has been a tough job to pick up three pictures out of the selection

Congratulations to all of the participants

elle.e · 08-12-2008, 01:36 AM

Nice patterns!

ftpaddict · 08-12-2008, 02:43 AM

Some very very impressive displays of pattern here.

My votes are in.

Xaetognath · 08-12-2008, 05:18 AM

The interpretations on the theme (as previously mentioned) were as intriguing as the images, and all of the submitted images were fascinating.

Settling on just 3 was definitely painful, when there were clearly 5 "must wins," and 3 more "but what about this one?"s.

Couldn't have said it better.

Thanks Bruce.

I don't have an entry. And, if I did, most, if not all, would far exceed my level of expertise/creativity.

Nice work all.

Ed
