Perhaps with "Pattern" as the theme's focus, all the items should be in focus to emphasize the concept of pattern.

Boy, I wish this was in color instead of black and white. They look yummy. Good repetitious swirl pattern.

cute image and idea, but for me the dof and lighting just doesn't balance it out.
