Smashing shot Peter - I'd say you picked the perfect aperture to get Ripleys eyes in perfect focus

But why is Ripley looking so sad - my wife will be beaming when she gets hers done at the end of the month

Soulful eyes? Doleful expression? Hopeful there's a biscuit on the way? Ripley is no doubt a very happy dog, having had a haircut. And he certainly knows how to pose.

Will she still be beaming after you've sat her down, pointed a big lens at her and told her you're taking her picture to put on Pentaxuser.com???

Choosing the right aperture for a head on dog portrait can be troublesome. Going for a wide aperture will really isolate the eyes but leave the nose out of focus as it is here at f2.8. I usually use 5.6 or f8.

He is a really happy dog but always adopts the sad expression when I take a formal portrait. I think they teach them that at puppy school. It's a ploy to get more biscuits.
