That’s a great shot! Especially the great expression on the dog’s face. The #1 goal in photography for me is to elicit an emotional response and you did that with this shot.
I think you’ve got a decent eye but, sure, you could improve your skillset (don’t feel bad, I’m in the same boat). I suggest getting a good photography 101 type book and joining one of the better shutterbug forums. Trading critiques with others will improve your skills faster than anything else.
Be careful though, a lot of the forums are full of jerks who just want to trash other’s work. I suggest http://fredmiranda.com/ I haven’t been there for a while but it was always my favorite for USEFUL critiques. It was well monitored and seemed to attract a more mature membership than many of the others.

Really cools shots Okie. I can't decide which I like better, portraits or pooches.
(yeah, I know, technically the dog shots could be called portraits. So sue me)
