The powerlines really kill the shot for me. Nice color in the picture and not bad looking trees, but it also seems to fail at meeting the challange. Not much of a "pattern." Would be a pretty shot without the powerlines though
This shot has a lot of potential. It can be hard these days to compose shots without power lines in them, but it's worth it to really try. Good luck in the challenge -- keep taking pictures; you have a nice eye.
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.
