 first try at light painting. Used a white screen app and a long exposure.
Enjoyed the process how I could see the results of how and where I moved the light during the exposure. Took about 25 takes before I got the look I wanted

Hello from the critique club....

This shot to me does not scream pastels. That being said, I am sure that your score suffered from the DNMC voters. Now on to the pic. The actual pic itself I think is good. I like what you did with the lighting. I am going to have to give that a try sometime. For this shot I like that the vase is centered and that the background is pitch black. I really do like this shot....just not in this challenge. Happy shooting.

If I saw this outside the challenge the word "pastel" would never cross my mind. "Muted", yes. "Pastel", no. Otherwise lovely.

I would prefer to see some of the background and have the vase off-centered.
