[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 600167, member: 3903"] I recommend using a single point focus that you would position right where you want the focus to be. For your second shot, I think your shutter speed is too slow for a person that seems to be moving. It doesn't take much movement to spoil a shot with a DX sensor. I'd say the same for your 1st shot, open the aperture a bit or raise the iso but try to keep your shutter speed above 1/100 when hand held. In your first shot, the focus looks all right, but the light is very flat which could make you believe the shot isn't sharp enough. Try to give it a bit of contrast and sharpening in post and it should be fine. Beware of trying to look at all your pics at 100% on the monitor. It can fool you. Have some prints made and you'll be surprised since the prints made at 100% would probably be too large to hang in your dining room. Enjoy your Nikon. [/QUOTE]
