Not a MILK mustache

Our golden retriever puppy (about the size of an adult coker spaniel, at the moment.

This was when we had about two feet of snow on the ground, and she was loving it, even if she doesn't look it so much in this shot. :)

Comments and suggestions always welcome.

Cheers,
Rick

Lovely dog - a real beauty. I think it looks a little out of focus - perhaps the focus point was picked up on the foreground snow? Exposure seems good for a snow shot.

Great point, thanks! I missed that. Part of it is the sharpening. I forgot Colin's 3-part sharpening process.

It's still rather soft everywhere except her face: I think you may be right, and focus may have been on some snow. I depend a bit on auto-focus, since my eyes aren't that good. Aperture was f/5.6, and I was about 3-4 yards away, so DOF shouldn't have been a problem.

This looks a bit better, I think. Thanks!
