First things first.... Welcome to the DPS forums

Next, please read the "Sticky" at the top of the critique forums.... in a nutshell it says we need to state what specifically we are looking for in critique and most importantly.... to post the EXIF data. It may be somewhere in the link... but we are a a lazy busy bunch who don't want to hunt for it

IMO your DOF is too shallow... I'd rather see the whole head in focus. Also, I'm not digging the tongue being cut off. I'm a beginner so take that into consideration when reading this

Here's the EXIF:
1280×967 pixels
ISO: 200
Exposure: 1/60 sec
Aperture: 5.6
Focal Length: 50mm

Shallow DoF. But if you can't get more into focus, at least make the main focal point be the eye. All of at least more of the tongue would be nice, but hard to decide with out seeing it with the eye in focus (which will throw the tongue out of focus...) Not a bad shot though.

thanx Dan will take care of it...
