I like your choice of subject but believe that a different angle would have made a more dramatic photo. I feel like I am missing a lot with this photo.

The focus on this seems be a little soft towards the flag pole. Additionally, it doesn't really say pastel to me.

The sky is uneventful for having so much of it. The building is very decorative. I would like to see the design but I don't think it fits this challenge.

Nice shot but it doesn't scream "Pastel" to me
