Yes, AF on both. It is tricky, especially on such small - and fast-moving - points of focus. I can see that the AF grabbed onto the collar, when I meant to grab the eye... but for me, I'm not that confident manually focusing in this type of situation (see "small & fast-moving", above), so I'm not sure I would have gotten better results on my own. :) Funny, I don't usually shoot these portraits wide open like this -- I try to stop down just a bit to give myself a little more leeway with the DOF. Still, it's an interesting lesson, one I will file away for next time -- and an added benefit of these shoots. Thanks!
