 Don't know if this is really pastel enough, but I like it. In Japantown in SF, took the same night as my free study.
Blew out some highlight in the lights, but I wanted to have a lighter tone to the whole shot.

PP: from top to bottom. curves, selective color, channel mixer, photo filter, curves, curves, hue/saturation, curves, ,levels. resize once Neat image and then resize again, save for web.

"Thats an odd structure and equally odd color tones." Tlemetry
This is one of the most accurate and funny comments I think I have ever gotten. Totally nailed the photo and how I tried to shoehorn a photo to fit the challenge.

Maybe too much purple hue, but overall an amazing photograph.

This is different and interesting! I think you should crop more of the bottom left, off, so the main focus is on the unusual lighting.

interesting photo, but the pastels are too subtle to avoid it being seen as a black/white picture, imho
