But, I would prefer to see more of the face/head, so....I suggest taking a step back to frame it so more shows.
Also, if you use a small enough aperture, and focus on the closest subject, you should be able to get BOTH subjects in focus. I would prefer to see that too.
I really love the photo! You captured the young woman with a relaxed and joyful expression, and her one visible eye really locks your attention.
Like :Steady: and :douter: - maybe step back slightly to get a bit more of both subjects, and bring the puppy into focus. At this age, they can be serious wigglers so you sometimes have to take what you get...
Thanks for sharing.
cheers,
John
(BTW, I have a "Callie" - 75 lb Golden Retriever turning 2 today. He was supposed to be "Butch", but my girls named after one of the characters in Howl's Moving Castle)
Thank you, Steady, Douglas, and John. I had a different view. The dog was just slightly soft, so I gave her some Gaussian blur, so that only Callie would be sharp.
Callie wasn't whispering to the dog, she was holding on for dear life. :-)
