For me, this pic works. It's so cute, his nose is nice and crisp, (in focus), and I love the way the rest of his his body is burred out. You captured the cute part of a wet doggie - the way the fur gets all spikey. I do like the way the left side of the dog just gradually blurs into the background, so it doesn't matter much to me that the eye is not quite as sharp as the other. I like the way the spikey fur just pops out from the background. Very good job on your doggies!
