Focus on leading eye
I read in a recent posting that a portrait shot should have the main focal point on the leading eye (definately not the nose).

At this range I'd suggest focussing on the iris. (It's okay Mic - another sort of iris). This might be a very telling portrait to any iridologist out there looking at it and the subject might be upset by the disclosure of such intimate facts.
Excellent close work, Stuart. Cheers, _______________

Stuart, truly unbelievable when one considers it must have been taken from the other side of the room.
ps Stuart, thought I should point out I knew you had a D2X and I got the lens info from Iexif, just in case you thought I could recognise lenses, I can't, but it did give me the focal length of 340mm so I guessed from there.
