We need to see a 100% crop, preferably of the eye(s).

I think he/she was already posting before I requested the eye (the post is one minute after mine).

I can't find the ISO in the EXIF data. Is it there and I just can't see?

cannot seem to post the 100% crop with the eye - but it seems to be OOF anyway

Standards are VERY high here - that's good
but at 100% it is tough to nail the focus for me

Your not alone dick. AF is your enemy unless you understand how and why it works and how to let the camera know what the subject is. Try using Manual for everything and set your diopter to your vision. Focus is the Number one issue with newbies. Learn to "Make" images, Not just Take pictures, Learn and understand Depth Of field and how it relates to distance from subject and focal length used. Thats Photography 101. If ya wanna do this seriously.Most don't wanna do the work.Heres my Tiger. see how you can make it look using DOF.This is called Forced DOF to draw the attention to the eyes.
