The smoking person looks just fine, look at the suit and parts of the face. Nice and sharp.


The smoking person is the key shot.  It looks like the focus is just at the back of his head.  Check out the individual hairs that stand out.  That part is very sharp.

So it seems like it may be back-focusing, at least for this shot, or there is some other problem with technique.  If you can get hairs that sharp, it is not the lens.

Maybe spend some time working on MFA.  Also, review this info on focusing (3 parts):
