Hi Nishand, while this is a good close look at your dog, I think it better belongs in the Man & Fauna gallery so I'm moving it. Without knowing the size of your dog, I'm guessing that the horizontal dimension is more than 4 to 6 inches (100 to 150 cm), which makes it large for the macro/close-up gallery. In addition, the Man & Fauna gallery is dedicated to our relationship with captive/tame animals.

It's a good look at your dog's expression and your dog sure looks happy, which is good for a big grin on my part. Yes, when working close like this getting the focus and dof the way you want is hard. In this case, it looks like you were indoors, so going to a smaller aperture for more dof would have meant a very slow shutter and keeping a happy dog still for that long is difficult.
