Look for bunching of groups and repitition of space and shapes Counterpointing of spacing instead of consistency Use a telephoto lens and/or extension tubes to bring your focusing point closer Use a small aperture to keep things crisp Fill entire frame with the pattern Use a out of place element to add interest Use reflector to diffuse light towards subject instead of direct lighting
