Mirrors in this case do not have any special meaning. They are part of composition pretty much same way as shadows created by blinds or golden box :)

Great idea - color and softness of yarn are really what goes with Pastel. Sharpness of bowl, despite color, I feel is not in line with Pastel concept (the way I interpret it; sorry, it is all about interpretation and it is subjective). I would have gone with even softer light (means larger light source), perhaps with a bowl that is not glazed, with cover of the table without green spots. Maybe some soft colored napkin would help with its softness. Don't know what to say about fork - basically sharp contrasty elements kind of go against my interpretation of Pastel. I still love creative approach and feel it has much more potential.

Interesting interpretation of course, but from photographic art point of view I think is not strong.

Great image in many ways: layers, path in the middle, colors of course, softness of everything.

For me pastel is not just category of colors. It is also some kind of softness, non-sharpness. Your image represents that very well. Composition I think is good too. This is one of the best in this challenge.

You found interesting subject. Cool to see reflections of the building on right side and the same upside down on left. Overall little bit bright. I suggest to think about cropping on left side up to external dark circle (where I think interesting part ends) to remove the bright part in left lower corner and also move center even more to left. Good work anyway.

Reflection in gold

Good idea (shows you understand the light :) and good execution. Simple composition, but not striking for some reason. Golden reflection attracts me more because of the combination of sharpness at the touch point and then painterly lines to the left. Don't know what to do to dircet focus there more.

Very interesting and original composition. Very cool contrast of textures. Right side - I think is not the strongest case of negative space - little bit cropped will work better.

Real gold for sure. I like simplicty of composition, and lines both foreground and background elements created. Ladybug, from my point of view, becomes significant here perhaps because of the color. I feel one step simpler - withoug bug - composition can be better, but then it may become something others did already. Not sure :)
