Thanks for the comments, I struggled with the crop because I was uncomfortable with the fur as well but every crop I tried brought the dog to close to the edge of the frame and didn't feel right.
I totally agree about having the eyes in focus usually but I really thought his attitude came through in his mouth on this picture, besides it was a change from my normal style. But thank you for your comments I really appreciate the feedback.
Cool foto...that little guy looks like he could take on anything and anyone! Just a few minor comments:
1) The fur/fluff int he foreground is a little distracting...
2) The focus is also a little distracting....but does perhaps work for this photo. I oftem appreciate the eyes in focus, as they tend to convey emotion strongly...however, in this case, the teeth in focus does work well giving that tough dog impression.
