A rather shallow depth of field, for my taste, given this shot.

It was entirely intentional, but thanks for the critique.

Maybe a closer shot would do the trick. The nose is such a small part
of your image.

Here's a quick example:

It's a crummy photo but it shows what perspective distortion can do for
you.

Yup, I would have liked to get closer, the lens I used was the Canon
50mm f1.8 prime (80mm on my 30D). I was as close as I could get and
still get the nose in focus.

Maybe some day I'll be able to justify a nice macro lens.

I used a Canon 10-22mm EF-S lens. Expensive, but fun.

That is likely the next lens. My old film cameras and lenses had a nice
wide end to them. I was shocked when I went digital and learned about
the less than full frame APC-C sensor and the 1.6x Focal length
multiplier. Not quite as shocked at the price of Digital full frame
cameras though! Just hard to justify for a hobby. Or more importantly
very hard to get past 'management' as it were. ;+)

Actually, I don't think it's crummy; I rather like it. But, considering
where dogs' noses have been.... anyway, I'm glad it's not in Smellovision.
