Playing outside with Funny (a dog)

I took this photo of Funny, my parents’ dog, outside in the yard. Funny is an Irish terrier, and she doesn’t usually like to be photographed, but it seems like she doesn’t mind so much when outside.

How does the shot work for you? C&C is welcome. For a larger version, just click the pic.

nice looking, happy dog. colors, lighting & action are good here, perhaps crop tighter.

Thanks. I think you're right about that a tighter crop would work even better. I'm afraid the focus was not dead-on, and I think that it shows up more with a tighter crop. I need to practice more. It was my first try at an action shot with the 70-200 f/4. I must say the lens worked very well for this though, and the colors and contrast right out of the camera was great.
