Thanks Diana,

I often shoot from my foot area without looking. Like shooting from the hip I guess. As long as I have the dogs face fairly centered in the composition I know it will be in focus if I stop down a bit. I recompose sometimes as long as the dogs not moving. In this case he was bringing the ball back that I had just thrown.

Thanks James,

I didn't blur that image in PS. I shot it at 2.8 most likely.
