If I imagined a radioactive panda, chances are it'd look like that
Welcome aboard.

Is that a Burnese Mountain Dog? He's lovely.

Thanks! And no, actually he's a Australian Sheppard Chow mix. : )

For one of your first shots it is very good.
If you focus on his eyes and then recompose the shot, or stop down a little to get the eyes in focus it would be an A+

Yeah, his eyes are a little out of focus now that you mention it.. I was really going for just focusing him and blurring the background... I really haven't been able to do that since, haha! : )

It can be tough to use selective focus on dogs, since they never quite stop moving. Personally, I suspect that autofocus has a hard time with subjects that are fluffy.

Welcome to Shuttertalk.

Actually I loved his eyes, there is an expression in his looking and action... For a first shot, this is wonderful, I loved it. According to my own experiences, I usually take more pictures especially with dogs, cats, birds, because they move...
