Although this looks busier than your later shot, I think this shows more creative patterns.

I love shots that make me see things in a new way. This is certainly no exception.

It looks like you enjoy the "linear" processing mode of your raw converter as much as I do. Just a guess, that is. I also enjoy the extremely shallow DOF of your macro lens ... one day I'll have one of those in my bag.

Your wallpaper section is exceptional.

I love the detail in this, and the extreme contrast in the spot-on focused regions. The shallow DOF makes it, of course.
