Default Focus point

What to you think of my focus point? My subject has Glaucoma in the eye I tried to focus on and cataract surgery on the other. Should I have also shot at F/5.6 as well? Comments appreciated!

EXIF Aperture Priority, F/2.8. 1/60 sec. shutter speed

I love everything about this. Great capture! Your focus point is fine in my opinion. I love the texture of the man's face and the wise seen-it-all look in his eyes, along with the slight smile. Perfection.

I like it too, I think that the depth of field is perfect with the softened far shoulder and blurred background.
I think that the face is slightly over exposed on the right hand side though, perhaps you could burn it a little to bring a little of that wonderful facial detail back in the right hand side of the face.
Just my opinion though, and overall well done for a great portrait.
