This was taken inside the Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse in Portland, Oregon. The intricate pattern on the individual slots of the radiater grill initially caught my eye. As I was shooting the pictures, I saw another pattern as the entire grill fanned out when viewed at a downward angle, thus discovering two patterns in one object. I didn't have my tripod with me; in retrospect I would have done better using a higher ISO setting.

It's an interesting pattern, but it appears pixelated and unclear. I see lots of evidence of heavy JPEG compression, but your file size does not indicate heavy compression on the final image. It must have been highly compressed somewhere else along the way, though. Save intermediate steps as a TIFF or your image editor's native format in order to avoid compression loss..
Good dof choice, forces the eye towards the back/bottom and hints at the infinite. Was there anyway to capture more of the detail? As that is a secondary pattern, it would have been kind of cool. I know that sometimes, these detail pieces fade and the ridges and "patterns" start to lose their definition, so perhaps this is the actual look.
