Yup, second challenge in a row with a corgi from me, but this one was Pet Portraits. I used a lensbaby composer for this with a paw print aperture. My biggest problem with this is that I don't have good lighting for shooting at night, also I didn't have a long enough room to get big paw prints in the background. I used christmas lights strands to be out of focus.

Thanks for all the comments. I knew the lighting was bad, but worked with what I had, and I was really going for the paw print thing more than lighting. The eyes I think are the most distracting part, but I couldn't spot edit the shine out and don't have an off-camera flash. Ah well, next time.
Ha... love the bokeh.. hate the eyes.. get your flash further away from your camera.
When I only had a P&S camera, I built a periscope for my flash that reflected the light to above the camera. I also used a larger difuser to make the light softer, anyway this helped to avoid red-eye problems
Was this taken with a Lensbaby with a paw print aperture? Cool idea, if it was! I might have changed the lighting a bit to prevent the "scary" reflection in his eyes.
