Default Playing with Focus

I took this at f1.8 using the heart necklace as the focal point, to see what the focus would be like throughout the rest of the frame.

Strobist info:
Strobe shot through white umbrella on 1/4 power from below front left
Strobe bounced off ceiling 1/4 power.

Playing with Focus - Sofia

Exif data
Camera Canon EOS 450D
Exposure 0.01 sec (1/100)
Aperture f/1.8
Focal Length 50 mm
ISO Speed 200
Exposure Bias 0 EV
Flash On, Fired

Thoughts on whether the focus works in this shot would be appreciated. Or any other general points...

beautiful.. Well, one eye sharp is sufficient for me.. ;D. And you love f/1.8 too

Well for the composition, it is a bit lacking of 'eye line'. If the baby look at the necklace while u take the shot, then it will be more beautiful.

Thanks for your thoughts.

I love the 50mm lens full stop. The f1.8 I am still trying to master!
