Re: Yes, you should have added more details

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.

Xroxer, since you mentioned it.  Please share your enlightened expert opinion as to how or where I went wrong with the first image.  As a disclaimer, I'll add: This was a test of the new lens.  My usual portrait lens is a Canon 85mm, but was told that this lens was one of the sharpest in it's class, so I wanted to try it out. There is no editing, no sharpening (in camera or in post), nothing.  This is straight out of the camera.  This was not a delivered image, but rather a test of the various apertures of the lens.  I put it up to show a comparison between the 2 images.  Similar apertures, different distances, very different results.

Now, please educate me on how you would've done this, or made this image better.  If you have examples, I'd love to see them.

Thanks!
