Composition: Much better than the last one. I do prefer the dog and man to be closer. Also with this composition, you have achieved a visual bringing together of the two friends just by moving them a tad closer together.
Lighting/Exposure: Again, bright mid-day light is not a good idea. However, if you ever find yourself in this position again, try these settings: ISO 400, Aperture F5.6, Shutter 1/60s or so.
Pose: I like that the man's shoulders and elbows are at different heights. That helps bring in interest.
Suggestions for Improvements: A little bit of USM in Photoshop might help this. Your focus is a tad soft.
That is simply one of the cutest dogs I have ever seen. You can tell that it is very close with its person. Overall, you did a much better job on this one than the last one. I realize you took them at the same time, but it was wise of you to try different things :) |

Better focus here - it still is a bit soft as if there is a bit of camera shake.
I have not used the camera you are using, but I have noticed that shutter actuation (pressing the shutter) can often result in some undue camera shake and blurry images.
If you are noticing a level of blurry-ness with most images - I would practice shooting and working on how you push the shutter button. It is often how you press the camera than can make a lot of difference in crispness of the image.
A thing to consider - To test out if it is the camera or yourself - try shooting a few images on timer and comparing them to a few images that you take when you hand hold the camera. If the images are all soft of focus - it is likely the camera. If they are softer when you hold the camera, practice different methods of pressing the button so you avoid camera shake.
Good luck! |

| This is much better in focus than your day 1 photo. I also like the tighter crop and how the pose seems to fill the frame. |

| This is much better with regard to the focus. I like this composition as well. I do see what you mean by the blown out fur. I had the same trouble with my recent post. We'll learn more as we go. |

| Focus is certainly better here. I also feel that the composition is much better as well, I like that the crop is tighter around them, and a little less centred. If you want to work on that white fur, at shooting time you could underexpose a touch, or in photoshop/gimp use the clone tools to bring a little detail back in. I like this one a lot! |
