there's no subject, needs color at least

Good abstact but maybe could use a focal point... Nicely exposed and good use of monochromatic .

Terrific repetition. I would love to see a version "2" with the top edge cropped with just the tiles showing and see what that looks like, also. Good job!! Crisp lines, great lighting.

looks like a hot and hazy day, very good pattern though...i'd like to see it without the roof line

Perhaps this would have been better if the whole picture has been just the clay shingles - I find the ridge a little distracting. still, I like it.

A really great photograph! I like the tone and angle of view, the focus is sharp. Like how the roof tiles appear to move when I scroll it for viewing. Fantastic lighting/shadows. The only thing I would have liked to see done differently, maybe, is to crop out the top roof line. It stops my eyes, is jarring. Then again, I know that leaving it in is the only way I would be able to identify the subject. Very well done!

I think perhaps crop that cut off the roof line, leaving just the pattern of tile, may have worked better. Eye-catching design though!

Cool patterns. Cropping out the sky might make it better though.

Nice geographic patterns. I think this shot might look better with a bit more contrast, but it still came out really nice. Good job.
