My take is the DOF is great, the toy and his one closest eye and nose is all in focus. If it is a crop I would give him a little more room on the right to look into. It a great shot and the dog is the sweetest looking little guy, great job. There will people with more experience then me coming by soon I'm sure. Marjorie

Aug 30, 2008 17:20 | #4 thanks for the comments. i've tried noise reduction on it, but it only seemed to make it worse. maybe i wasnt doing something right. i'm not that good at PP yet. unfortunately, it is not a crop so i dont have any more composition options. 70D | 18-35 Art | 50 f/1.4 | 85 f/1.8 | 100L

I just used the noise reduction in Photoshop but very conservatively otherwise it looks far too soft. Also reducing the image size kind of hid some of the noise that was still visible.

Otherwise, it's a good composition, good color and lighting, etc...just kind of a bland pose. "It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment. " - Ansel Adams
