Default Puppy Portrait
Hey I have just discovered my Canon 50mm 1.8 lens and am falling in love with it! This is one of the first shots I took with it. The main focal point of the photo was on his eyes but I am not sure if his nose being more out of focus takes away from his expression. Any comments would help! Thanks!

From 365 day project


Model Canon EOS REBEL T2i
ISO 3200
Exposure 1/25 sec
Aperture 2.8
Focal Length 50mm
Flash Used false

I like it. I'd prefer the nose to be more in focus, but I know you were just playing around with the lens. I'd do a tighter crop, the white on the one side is a bit distracting. Nice work, I love cute doggy faces.

For me, it all works. They eye contact and focus is perfect.

I love the shot -- I would clone out whatever that is on the bottom right by the nose, I find it distracting ... nice portrait!
