Staffie in the Woods

I'm making a charity calendar for the animal shelter I volunteer at.

We had an auction for each month and raised ~£400.
Today's shoot was with the August winner and this is my favourite shot from the day, although it may not be the one that makes the calendar.

Any thoughts on composition and/or editing would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for looking

A very nice shot Selena and worthy of making the calendar IMHO.

Nice shot, composition and expression is spot on.

For me I think I would have preferred a slightly narrower aperture, the eyes are in focus so it clearly isn't missed just a little more depth of field to keep the nose in would have been good.

Still you've done a good job

Thank you both.

I agree about the depth of field, it was on f4 but I should've pushed the ISO and gone for 8 or something.
Definitely something to keep in mind for tomorrow's shoot.

How cute, lovely image, the nose may be a little soft, but personally it doesn't detract from a nice image.
Hope the charity thing goes well.
