What I love about this image is the initial impact the central symmetrical shapes and patterns have created. The more intricate details around the edge of the frame make you look twice to establish what exactly it is that you're looking at and draw you in. With plenty of shadow and highlight detail, there's lots to explore as well as admiring the simple pattern and repetition that first catch your eye. Using a fish-eye lens is a great way to distort and exaggerate the patterns for an eye catching and dynamic image.
