1. Maybe tilt the photo a bit counter clockwise to level the head out a bit, after a while the slight tilt puts me off. I go back and forth on the wanting the head a bit higher to get more light on the lower part, but it is a good photo, not dead center but enough action in the background to allow ones eyes to move freely.

2. I like the DOF on this one, very nicely done. Again the amount of the head dipping off frame gives me pause but it is still a good photo.

I like #2. Distant look and light worked !

Photo 2 out of these works definitely better than 1, I say. The shadows are too strong in one, but the selective light in 2 lights up just the right parts of his face. But I'm with Geronimo on where you cropped off his chin. Too close a crop there.

I really like both, but love picture 2. Ok, so I'm a dog lover. The focus on the eye is just perfect.

thanks, the light was perfect but i too wish that his jowls were in the frame. it was such a spur of the moment photo, and he was more concerned with sleeping rather than posing. he looks intimidating, but he would lick you to death.
