One of my Huskies, Koda

Got my first DSLR yesterday, a Nikon D5100

Took this while they were at the dog park, she finally stopped for a second after she got tired

f/4.8 ISO 800 1/2000

What a stunning looking dog !

Other than that, her ears have been chopped off, so for a head shot only, try to keep the ears, and the crop to the left in the direction she's looking is a bit vicious. Bit more space would be more aesthetically pleasing

Still, your Koda is an absolute beauty. I'm a real big fan of dogs !

Thanks!, Yeah she always has a upset look on her, we have a black and white Husky too, and he always looks happy.

Ill remember to keep the ears in next time, I took about 100 shots just to get this one good one, they we running around like crazy, and they didn't want to cooperate haha

Beautiful dog, I agree with what you have already been told... I have 3 dogs and know how hard they can sometimes be to capture.. I want to add, your focus and clarity is excellent.

Thanks, I had it in A mode since there were so many different shadows and lights depending on where I was standing, so I was changing the shutter constantly in Manual mode. I had the 55-200 lens on, it seems to focus quicker than the 18-55, so I just dropped down really quick when she stopped and snapped the picture real quick, there was some luck involved for sure.

The cropping could have been better, you cropped out the dog's ear, should have kept the ears in the photo.
