Pastel?
Interesting, but in my opinion this is not pastel (however the subjects would quite fit into the usual pastel photos)

This is well photographed but the three main characters are too extreme for the image to work for me.

I love this picture, but I'm not convinced it's right for this challenge. The colours are a bit too bright in my opinion.

okay, as much as i truly love this image, i really don't get a sense of pastelness in this at all. okay, the girls skin tone is a bit pale, but really, that's incidental. so it doesn't fit the challenge.

i wish it did though, 'coz i'd have tenned this no question. i love the david lynch weirdness about this (though it needs a dwarf!); trying to figure out the narrative here is an intriguing bitch! there's a lot to take in here, but it is so rewarding. i love the building. the cat looking at the bird and the girl looking at the cat is fantastically entertaining, so heirarchical... and can i say: strapless dress and top hat? GENIUS! technically it's great; the composition is certainly unconventional but it is successful, the colours are rich (too rich - should be pastelly), the building has a texture you can see... probably my favourite picture of the year. it'll be unfair to give a 10, so 8. okay, 9.

One of the most creative shots that I have seen on DPC. Conceptually excellent, with surreal post processing. The only downside for me is that the model's pose looks like a model's pose. Maybe have the hat in hand, upside down, to complete the circular dream. 10

Hollywood in Iceland? It's an interesting juxtaposition.

Such a gorgeous shot - doesn't really seem pastel to me but I just wanted to comment that the setup and lighting and overall feel of the photo is absolutely wonderful.

interesting shot, but where are the pastels?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Just a bit too bold to suit a pastel challenge adequately. Nonetheless a dynamic image with tons of style. 7

Cool picture. Too bad the challenge is pastels, however. I do not see any light, pale tints.

What an awesome building. The model is so out of place that she fits right in. I love the composition, the coloring and the overall feel. Well done!

Very nice. I'm looking forward to seeing how you did this. The cat and bird are perfect touches. LOVE the colors!! One of my pics to ribbon.

There is a lot to look at in this image. I love the old building and the mood of this image. I would not call this pastel though.

Great picture, wish 'pastels' were more prominant

Great shot. I don't see pastels as prominent here though.

Not enough pastel.

very interesting shot, but pastel?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Dramatic photo but I don't consider this full of pastels. It's really too dark and moody to fit the theme of "a light, pale tint of color".
  Photographer found comment helpful.
09/04/2006 08:46:30 AM
Great composition, but too dark for pastels. imho
  Photographer found comment helpful.
09/04/2006 04:28:01 AM
A good image but a tad dark for the challenge (dark as in spooky dark that is) (6)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I had to go look at the challenge wording again. light, pale tint. yep, it says right there that is what pastel is. This is a great picture but doesn't look light or pale.

lol weird combo but looks cool

I find these colors to rich for paatel...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
09/04/2006 02:25:33 AM
Awsome picture! However, this is so not pastel!!! This is just the opposite. I hate to vote low since the quality of work is so high, but it just does not meet the challenge. Good work anyway.

IMO... these are darker than pastel... but its a cool shot!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
09/04/2006 12:59:25 AM
Awesome but dark. Love the composition and technical expertise but I'm not seeing pastel. Hmmmmmm
