Lit them with a 27" Elinchrom Beauty Dish centered and pointing down at them at about 45 degrees. A 12"x50" westcott strip-bank with grids on from right behind them was used as a hair/rim light. Third light with a round bowl on and covered with an amber gel was hitting the black background to create the vignette effect. I had a round reflector sitting on the floor to fill in some of the shadows cast by the beauty dish.

Ears up and everything; nicely done! Not the most emotive image in the challenge to me, maybe because it is so technically perfect. And posed. Gotta' admit I have a bias for unscripted emotion between pets and people (and no, my profile pic is not my favorite shot of me and my dog ). But this is beautiful. And if I were that dog's person I'd be over the moon to have something like this to hang on my wall.
nightpixels or allenp i should say? nice portrait although not a lover of toy dogs his expression of terror and bewilderment is interesting and intriguing, nice gradient on the backdrop and lighting to the ladies hair and face.
How could one resist this challenge? Well lit and engaging. The rear caramel spot matches her 'mane' and the browns of her shirt and the pooch. Thoughtful work. Ribbon material...
Great composition, well lit, nice and sharp.. Good title...One of the best in this Challenge! a 10 from me. Very nice to see some colour. This has to ribbon!
