"A good photograph is one that communicate a fact, touches the heart, leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. It is, in a word, effective." - Irving Penn
One little piece of advice -- looks like you've had the same issue that I've had in photographing my dog. The autofocus doesn't always want to get the eyes, ends up picking up the dog's nose sometimes instead. To fix this, choose one autofocus point instead of letting the camera pick. Or, get really good at manual focus...and find a way to keep the dog from moving! (In other words...stick with the single autofocus point

I noticed that too. AFTER I posted the photos. I had a really close up of his eye, but when I uploaded the photo, it was a close up of his nose. Still a cool shot, but NOT what I was wanting. I am working on the manual focus. I'm not fully comfortable with it yet, but I'm getting there.
Thank you for the input. It is greatly appreciated.
Thanks to you also Dori!

Make sure you put it on 'Continious Focus' not 'One Shot',that`s the mode for anything that might move.Manual focus for a moving subject is very difficult.If you don`t fill the frame you have a better chance of keeping the focus point on the eye.bigbubbaG wrote:
