I have owned many, many dogs over the course of my lifetime, but the smartest, most trainable were Jack Russells. My current charge is a little JR/Scottish Terrier mix. An odd combination, to be sure, but still, he retains the JR temperament and intelligence. As far as manual lenses and focusing, I cut my teeth almost 50 years ago using nothing BUT manual focus lenses.... because that's all there were! Actually, I prefer them most of the time. An added advantage is, third-party, manual focus lenses can be had for, as they say, "A song, and sing it yourself!"

I noticed that your shutter speed was quite high, especially on the second shot, and it appears as if your depth of field suffered as a result of it. Might I suggest a smaller aperture? Two very nice captures that could be improved upon with a little tweaking. I've found that if I shoot several shots with ever-increasing aperture settings, I can select the one that's the best during editing. The pink flowers against the pale blue background works quite well.
