Hard To Get Pose.a Little Camera Shake.

I've always liked shots like these, the kind you see on a greeting card or so. i like the sight of the stone path leading to the gate and the dog with paws up on it. I think a tighter crop and also having the dogs entire face/snout in between the posts and not blocked is important. You getting down lower as to reduce the harsh angle and bring us closer to the dog is something to try also. It looks like this is a shot you can retake with no trouble as the dog might do this ofte or when coaxed so think about some changes and try again. i think there is potential for a great greeting card here

I recently read something from a pet photographer who would wrap a piece of bacon around her lens (I wouldn't do that) to keep the full attention of her canine subjects. I like Gary's suggestions although the photo is nice as is -- with the exception of a sharper focus that you already mentioned. The good thing is you are out shooting! -- which is what I need to do today.

Gary has given you some of the points I was about to make and I have a feeling that is a little blurring on the dog? If so you may need to increase the shutter speed to get it sharper, or possibly use flash to capture it.

Shebang - would that invalidate the warranty all that extra grease :lol:
How about dangling a buscuit from the lense much cleaner and more hygenic

LOL - throw in some gravy and a few eggs and doggy has a full breakfast --- and will be fast asleep.....

That looks like motion blur, not camera shake. I'd also like to see the dogs nose evenly placed between the fence posts.

the fence is in focus, so I think its the dog moving. Super cool shot though - definitely worth retrying to get one of him still. cute pup too!
