The pattern is clear to me. It strikes me that this might be an ideal location for trying and HDR image (although not useful for a basic challenge). I love the colors and the texture of the layers.

I like how the raised trunk gets more red in the frame. Clever setup. A bit oversharpened for my taste.

Comment by Yo_Spiff:
I thought the pattern was pretty obvious, even though it was a major element of the scene and not the primary subject. I gave it a 7, BTW.

I think that the dark area that is front and center, starting in the middle and going straight down and off to the left may have taken away from this shot some. Perhaps if it had some more light on it to show off its pattern as well the contrast of the other patterns could have been enhanced.

Comment by Melethia:
What a very cool place! And yes, the colors are magnificent. I think for this challenge, had you focused on the left side of the shot where the cool swirlies are, it would have done better, though 5.8 and the top 20% here is NOT sucking, by the way. Of course, by focusing on the left, you'd lose the deep blues and purples on the right which I think lend a lovely balance to this.

Good job of making this shot fit the challenge. It's the play of light that creates the patterns more than the rock layers.

The colors here are stunningly beautiful. I do see the pattern, circular throughout the walls of the cave, then the repetitive pattern of the "broken" walls. It is gorgeous!

It must be something to see this in person. The colors are amazing!
