Nice pic although a little soft so I would suggest bumping the Aperture to 8, ISO down to 100-200 and adjust the shutter speed accordingly. That lens does better around F8 and a lower ISO is always better and since you were at 1/750 you have a lot of room to play with there.

You captured the drool. Good job. Strange you don't have a Shih Tzu as that it is said to have been Buddha's dog. I do know everything. LOL

Thanks for the advice - I am really a newbie to DSLRs and am soaking up all of the info!

This is actually a dog that I was babysitting and ex-foster dog

She's a doll.

The screen name is in reference to a Zen koan questioning if dogs have Buddha nature.

I think it's just a depth of field issue. The focus is probably a little behind where you might have wanted it to be, but another full stop or more would probably have been needed to get most of the dog in focus. And then the fence might have been sharp enough to be distracting. This is probably a good example of picture that's really, really good when kept at moderate levels of magnification.

Looks really good to me....I've seen thousands of Doggie shots and am still waiting for the first 'Bad One". As long as the Doggie is alive and happy they are all good, and yours is very good!
Best Regards! & Happy New Year

I think you are right. Focus is on the neckless.
Fun with the drolling!
