Pattern - Work Diary

For my pattern photoshoot, I went to an urban environment as I thought there might be lots of man made patterns there. I also found some natural patterns on the way to the town. Lots of my photos are images of patterns in floorings and walls.
This is my favourite image from my photoshoot.

This photo shows a man made pattern. I like it because the metal bars that the pattern is made up of also show texture as they are dirty and show some dark tones. I also like the narrow depth of field shown in the photo; the middle of the pattern is in focus but the rest is out of focus. The background behind the pattern is also out of focus, so attention is drawn to the pattern. Finally, there are a wide range of colours shown around the pattern, and some darker tones in the background.

This is my least favourite image from my photoshoot.

I don't think this shows pattern very well; it's too disorganised for my liking, as i prefer a pattern that shows symmetry and neat repetition like the one above. The image is also under exposed. Additionally,  

I feel that it doesn't show any other elements such as depth of field competently.

If I were to do this photoshoot again, I would try to focus on natural patterns, as in this photoshoot I focussed on man-made patterns.
