PESO:

The focus is on the scarf, not her eyes, but I kind of like the soft focus
for the young girl.  I added a little negative clarity to emphasize the
softness. What do you think?

I have nothing against soft, in principle, and sometimes do it, perhaps even to extremes? <https://photos.app.goo.gl/mrPXexQTKdhrU6N47>

But I can't say I like an obviously misplaced plane of focus in portraits. It is possible to relocate that plane, if it's not too far out. <http://www.moosemystic.net/Gallery/Others/Manley/SoftBeauty.htm>

A sharper one is next.

Nice portrait. Plane of focus still a bit forward of the eyes. The same thing 
could be done to this one.
