Reluctant Model in Blue
by twm122

Comment:
I certainly understand the "reluctant" part. I like the pose and overall composition. The soft colors work well with the model. Reflection adds just a bit of depth, but not too much. The only thing that stands out that may be improved a bit is the transtion midway where the color doesn't quite fade into the white background; but perhaps that is your intent. Well done.

Lovely pastel colors and bokeh to match. This has a painted feel to it. Well done.

DOF and composition are well done. The dreamy color fits the picture perfectly.

Fog On The Mountain

You have the pastel, so you certainly meet challenge. What makes this good is how it makes me think and wonder what the model is doing up there. Fog adds to the effect.

I like the model's expression playing against the stark wall. The color looks unnatural and her hair looks oversharpened. Hopefully you'll post the original after the challenge - I bet it's something special.

Good DOF and idea. The green isn't really a pastel in my opinion, but a bit is evident in the dandelion.

Yoo Hoo!

This made me chuckle and that's certainly a bonus. Pastels are evident, but it seems like a color cast in the white. It may be intentional, but a pure white would work better, in my opinion.

Good color and sharpness. Light is well done. The flowers on the model's head and in hand are a bit overpowering for the natural color of her skin.
