We welcomed springtime and warm weather with last week's Mashable Photo Challenge, which centered around pastel colors. New York City photographer William Joos guest-hosted.

Joos incorporates a lot of light and airy colors in his photography as well. You can see some good examples on his Instagram account.

"It was beautiful to see the various arrangements of color combinations that were presented in the images; they were remarkable, and I think played into the pastel theme quite well," he said. "And the locations where the images were taken are truly breathtaking. I think I need to start visiting some of these places soon!"
