| I gave this an 8 and felt it deserved it - 66th place is short shrift for this fine and subtle work. |

Greetings from the Critique Club
(Before I start, just want to say I really liked your 8 seconds of fluidity in a recent challenge. beautiful work.)
Okay, here we go. I looked and looked at this image. I even did something unusual for me, I downloaded it and played with the composition on my own computer. (and then erased the image, of course) The pattern you chose is delightful, the handling of light, good and the parts that need to be sharp are sharp, IMO.
Jurassic, there's something about the composition that bothers me. Cutting the flowerpot off at just one side, and not very much of it at that, makes me want to complete the circle, but I can't! (And I think this is why you didn't get into the 6's with your score.) I tried cutting off the circle at two points and that worked a little better, and I tried cutting out the pot circle all together, but that took away the unique-ness that makes your image interesting in the first place.
So, you have a good photo here that the voters thought was interesting enough to get into the high 5 scoring category. But to go higher, play with different compositional components to give it that "wow" factor.
Good luck in future challenges.

| This was a wonderful shot, with the 'golden spiral' etc. and got one of my 10s. |

| i like the overall coloring and the carpet floor background--though i question the composition--perhaps zooming in would be more interesting |

| Clever double usage of harmonic division (~0.618 : 1) -- once at placement of center of cactus and once again if you count the spiral arms (13 to the right and 21 to the left which gives ~0.619 : 1). |

ah, the golden ratio, what wonderful patterns it produces-
excellently captured from this angle. I love the rich green against the muted background and the perfectly controlled DOF |
