I'm way behind again in commenting, sorry about that, but at least I can see the reshoots!
Pattern: I really like the dandelion, specially in the square crop. Great depth of field; I like the way the seed "wings" (or whatever the proper term is) are in focus in the front, but dreamy round the edges, and you can still clearly see the actual seeds themselves in the centre. The eye I'm not so keen on, as I find that little red vein slightly disturbing! But the squer crop eye is definitely the best for me...
Movement: really nice idea and well done. I like how the main part of the pic is all movement blur, but the mirrored part is much sharper and appears stationary.
Below: great idea here, and works pretty well. The sun star is a major point of interest, and I wondered if it might work better with some kind of leading line from there up towards the top left. Pretty hard to see how you could achieve it, though!
Size: excellent macro shots here, again plenty of depth of field, quite often hard to get. I prefer the second one as it's the only one where you get the whole bumble!
Process: Hmmm... nice square crop and lovely monochrome tones, and I like the circles and lines. I found this a really hard theme as a process extends in time, I guess this shot does as well as most, but it doesn't really resonate with me. But as I said, lots to like here.
