Shooting vertically, the far outside point is usually good for me when I'm real loose on a subject. On tighter portrait or full body shots, the next one in is usually good. On a horizontal like the shot you presented today, I'd probably go with the upper right corner focus point. Again, if i get a lock and a beep, nd the shutter releases, the focus will be accurate. That's proven true even shooting action like moving cars or Grace's t-ball games.
Too bad we aren't in the same area. It would be interesting to swap cameras and lenses and see if there's a difference. Maybe at GFM.
