I'm not ashamed to say that I really liked that movie :p The setup and everthing is good here but the use of a flash does-in the dog's eyes and the shadow behined hurts too. It all here except lighting!!!
didn't see the movie, not scoring on that. The full frontal on-camera flash is not your friend. Look at his poor eyes. Look at the huge shadow behind him. These are things we try to avoid by not using the on-camera flash. No good ever comes from relying on that as your single light source.
If you have time, go read Cindy's thread on studio lighting.
He's a cute pup.
Awwwww... look at (him/her?) Chihuahua puppies are just soo cute. This might even be cuter than my Kirby. :-)
I'm not voting... but let me offer some critique.
I've like that you have used a solid background. But the texture of the background is a bit distracting. Also, I think a pink would have gone better with the "scene" you are going for.
Also, looks like you are using an on-camera flash. I'm guessing from the depth of field is probably a point and shoot camera. There are ways to diffuse the flash some. One very effective way is to place a pingpong ball over the flash, allowing it to diffuse the light some. Also wax paper can diffuse it also.
cute dog (nails really need to be cut, but not counting points for that) and good idea! the lighting is a little too much, hard to keep those eyes from getting that reflection.
The flash has made the picture very harsh. Try bouncing the flash off a white card. If the flash is built into the camera and can’t be aimed away to bounce it then try holding some thin white fabric, paper or tissue slightly in front of the flash to diffuse the light a little.
