Cool stuff! Focusing- It's probably not harder. Just a whole lot more precise.

Now that's a vast improvement on your 1st effort Kevin! Top marks for taking the advice given and coming back so quickly with a better shot.
No distractions, sharp eye ... good work.
About the only thing I can see is you might have over-exposed the face in a couple of spots. The skin appears a bit bright on the bridge of your nose and inner cheek area.

the former , and I find using the manual focus makes portraits a lot easier, auto focus has a tendency to focus on the eye lashes or on the nose too much."prof" as in Professor or as in Professional?
