Nicely seen and captured. Still, your métier of very shallow plane of 
focus requires great care in focusing and has, to my eye, failed here. 
The lower legs in focus and face soft doesn't really work for me. I'm 
not sure I mind the soft face, but the part that's in focus seems wrong 
to me.

YMMV
