I thought the original poster only had an issue with the second image. The first was OK to him?

Focus and recomposing would not be the issue with the second image right? It looks front focused by a few feet at least.

BTW - I am a beginner.

I'm getting a real sense that this site, and forum is not worth the time or energy.

My issue is primarily with the second image.  I understand why one eye is out of focus in the first image.  I understand that when using a wide aperture such as f/2 there will be a very thin window for DOF.  My issue is why am I getting a completely out of focus face, using apertures in upwards of f/2.8, f/3.5, etc... on an f/2 L lens, at distance?  My 85mm f/1.8 does not present with this problem at f/2, f/2.8, etc...

Further, why is it that photographers, both self proclaimed professionals as as well as beginners feel the need to insult and put down rather than assist and encourage?  Unless you have an amazing portfolio and are making a ton of money, you're really not in any place to put others down, or make passive aggressive comments about the ability of others.
