Had a hard time picking something for this. Took tons of pictures which looked fine as abstracts till I converted to B&W, at which point ... yuck! Settled on this one for the patterns. They're Morning Glory buds.
PP - converted from RAW, rotated, cropped, levels, increased contrast, converted to monochrome, added border, resized, sharpened with noise reduction.

Very nice use of a shallow DOF to render a common subject into a more abstractive work. Perhaps a little too much on the top, placing the focal subject too near the framing for my tastes, but nicely done otherwise.
so interesting, my eye keeps wandering to the rest of the photo, it seems a bit distracting (the background) the detail is nice and the focus is sharp 7
