Cool pooch.
I'd rather see the entire head and scarf in focus.

PJ is a cutie....love those ears.

general comment..........background is lousy on all the shots....find a better location to work with PJ. The best Bokeh in the world can't help distractions like you have in these shots.

#1. nailed the eyes (though they could use a bit of brightening), but the DOF is just too shallow to make the picture interesting to me. With a full head shot like this I prefer to see the nose and the eyes in focus. The ears can drift out a bit. Fill flash would have helped a bit with this shot. It seems to me that the overall shot is a bit soft, maybe from too low a shutter speed?

#2 is a bit sharper and better DOF, but the ear is clipped and you are showing a bunch of what I call distractors (collar, background, very bright and colorful but OOF waving end of scarf). Crop the top and the bottom to focus on the head, I think it will help.

#3 has same problems as #2, though you saved the ear. This shot definately needed fill flash to equal out the exposure from the top of the head with the rest of the face.

Hope these comments are useful.
