The lighting and focus is spot on, there is just no emotional connection for me. I would never score this image at a 5 though. 7

This is my favorite shot of the challenge but I'm struggling with it being pastel. My first impression of the image is, WOW! what beautiful VIBRANT SATURATED colors. I want to give this a 10 but will give a 7 for now for not meeting the challenge in my eyes. I may change my mind later though. Regardless, this a stunner.

I'm a sucker for Abstract and this is gorgeous. Love the tones and the fact that I can still make out the subject. I'd love to know the details on how you captured this after the challenge. 7

Seriously you couldn't have picked a more perfect color combo and the reflection really adds to the shot. A slight desat in colors would have made this fit the challenge a little better but I still am giving you an 8.
