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.

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.

Reflection in gold

Comment:
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.

The Lady struck gold

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 :)

When commenting, I'm usually trying to say something meaningful. In this case - just Wow!

Graphics of this is just amazing - great work! Point of view is probably not unusual, but this image deserves credit for well seeing and capturing. Monochrome of course is a good choice to avoid distraction of colors and focus us on lines.

Dangerous point of view :) but I should add that you created very interesting composition. Lines going to one central point make very strong dynamic image. Headlights are great. Only problem is that very bright part on the right side - it's approximately the place where lines converge, and seeing there just white kind of reduces impact of the image.

I would say it is traditional point of view of flower photographer :) I like out of focus background that still has elements of environment, and lines grass created are nice and help to "move around" the image, but it seems like one stop bright. In this shot the most important probably was to keep main flower in focus but some parts of it are not that sharp.
