I've only just got some flashes and modifiers so thought I'd give portraits a bash of my dog. I'm finding it a bit tricky with how to pose him and the rule of thirds. I try to get his eyes on a third but when I do that it seems there is a lot of wasted space with the background showing, what are your opinions? Also this is my second time using my flashes as a studio set up, trying to get used to that also. I tried these shots with plain grey paper. I tried over exposing it to be white but it didn't look right against his white fur, and I tried under exposing it to be black but it didn't look right against his black bits.
Any help or critique would be appreciated. Having trouble posting pictures from flickr, for some reason the HTML code isn't working so here are the links.

and this is an example of the problems with cropping I am having. His eyes are perfectly on a third but there is a lot of wasted space, might just be me though. Feel free to edit my images.
