Dog shot with new lens

Was going for the look she gives when we go hunting, 'there's a rabbit, can I get it? can I? CAN I?'.

Lens is 50mm 1.8 for anyone interested. Criticism welcome

Nice shot, the eye is in perfect focus...she's lovely!

A Springer Spaniel, I bet she runs you ragged and always rolls in the muddy puddles just because she can. Very much the nutty one of the gundogs breeds.

A nice dog portrait, however the muzzle/nose is OOF whereas the ear and eye are sharp. I would have liked to see the eye and muzzle as the sharpest areas. A DoF issue only so if you can get her to stand still for long enough next time use a slightly smaller aperture?

A little PPIng would not go amiss IMHO it is just a tad flat on the contrast and would benfit from some sharpening.

HTH

great shot. love the expression.

Thanks

OOF muzzle was intentional, we'll have to agree to disagree on that

Given your other reccomendations a try, better or too much/too little?

The eye of the beholder and all that

I took a run at it, what do you think?

In the end PPing IMHO has one purpose - to improve an image in the way that suits what you wish to 'see' in a picture.

Oh I see the file name says "charlie" if that is her name that is spooky because the other Springer that I knew (a dog) was called Charlie !
