By this are you saying you compose with what you want in focus directly over a focus point, or that you compose and choose the autofocus point nearest the detail you want most in focus?
Sorry if that sounds like a stupid question...

0.05 feet is a tad smaller than 5/8 of an inch. I agree that's thin, but it still seems doable. If I tell the camera AF to focus on an eye, then it should be able to nail it (and eyelashes) and even remain in focus if I cause a small amount of movement when I squeeze the shutter.

In looking at your image, to me it looks like the ear is more focused than any other part of the image. My guess is that the baby moved more so than you did. Have you tested on a still object? I mean, taking a breath can cause a person - let alone a baby - to move more than 5/8 of an inch.
