Thanks for the comments!

I agree, the pattern is quite subtle, especially if one considers pattern to be regular, but maybe my interpretation of "pattern" is a bit different, since English is not my native language. :) Maybe a bit too dark also... But I'm very satisfied, nice score for the first challenge. :)

I like how you have a focal point and the pattern is in the back

I'm having a really hard time defining what is going on in the background. And there is a "reflection" or some sort of something underneath the ice that seems out of place. If I could see the background better, things might come together into a better whole.

Interesting !! The patterns unfortunately do not "wow" me sufficiently

I look at this one but just cannot see anything in it that I can relate to ;-) The pattern is very subtle. 5.

what i like about this picture is that it really makes you look at it for a while to understand what it is, but it still looks good
