Like them all and numbers 11 and 12 the best.

like all the images 1,3 and 11 faves . would be tempted to have a play with colour gradients on them just for fun, giving different shapes different colours. Good to see you getting out .

Good experimenting. I prefer the ones that are more abstract, e.g. prefer 9 rather than 4.

In a way it's a good feeling to get lost in the patterns.

All the gear with no idea

Agree with HarisF1.

I find these sort of shots difficult to pull off, the picture omits the surrounding context that is important at the time it is taken. So the stronger the abstract pattern and texture the better. Have you experimented with more extreme processing (false colour etc.) to emphasise pattern and texture - a picture rather than a photograph? Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...

Lovely set Gareth, happy to see you back!

Thanks all. Weirdly 6 and 9 are my favourites and the others I like but didn't think they were a patch on them and they appear to be the least favourite Just goes to show just how personal photography is
