Geeze should have warned us he forgot his boxers in #2... I like #3, but it looks like it backfocused a touch or it twitched forward a bit. DOF always is tough with wildlife. They look nice and sharp.
Yep, that's exactly what happened. I had his nose/eyes focused and then he lunged at me an inch, so I only got his ears and paw/hand in focus. I didn't stop down and didn't have continuous AF turned on. I'll get him next time.
