Seeing if this formula will work again for me. This time using Kirby with the Lightsphere II, Dome off pointed up.
Lots of PP to try to make a convincing, light pastel look but retain depth, while not blowing highlights. Mostly this was done by Levels adjustments in the midtones and then burning shadow areas via Soft Light layer and then Selective levels adjustments to eyes, ears and face. Also some diffusion and desat gong on.

After many time without commenting photos , yours is the one : I'm a lucky woman.During the challenge,I gave it a 9.
First because of the pastel tones , too many photos (imho) didn't meet the challenge but your did !
The composition is excellent , this is a very good portrait , what a pose !
The lighting is great , no shadows , no highlights , it suits very well the pastel idea.
You did a good job with the edition !
I don't agree with the placing , it should have finished higher.
Not sure that this "critique" could be useful for you , I'm not very objective.Of course please feel free to contact me.
Oh, we know better than to call a chihuahua an angel. They think they're rottweilers. Nails could use a trim BTW, or does the 'angel' protest such matters? :-)
