Photo Contest (VOTING CLOSED) ROUND 412: Patterns

[Xorkoth]

WELCOME TO PHOTO CONTEST #412!

This round's theme is PATTERNS as selected by your reigning champion: @chinup.​

This topic is relatively straightforward, but there is an exciting amount of possibility for creating beautiful and artistic photos.

Submissions must be original photographs, with or without minimal pre or post editing.

Submissions are now open closed! Take some photos, or select an existing original photo of yours, and submit it! The artistic possibilities are many with this topic, so please be creative and have fun with it!

Voting is now open. Once the poll appears, please review the submissions and vote for your favorite! If you see the choices but no poll, please wait a short time, as it means I will be giving people a chance to confirm their entry, in the case that we had multiple submissions from people.

I'll start the round off with two recent photos with my macro lens for my Nikon D3200. These will probably not be my final submissons:

Lichens on a small stick:

Alien lichens:

Here is a beautiful example of a wasps nest showing the patterns formed by its construction.


It also has a strangely alluring entry hole... 8)

Guess I'll be going through all the photos I've had sitting on a hard drive for years next week. Will probably end up taking a photo just for the contest though.

Best of luck to everyone! Excited to see what people come up with.

Participation has been pretty light so far this round, come on guys, don't be shy! Submit an entry! It's more fun when we have a lot of submissions.

Nice! That reminds me that I have a few photos of eyes (mine and my girlfriend's) that I took recently with my new macro lens.
