What lens did you use and at what focal length?

Agree with MA - the lighting is too dim here on the boy. Try another test. Take the boy OUTSIDE and focus on his eye with a fast shutter speed. EXCEED the focal length rule by at least 2 stops. Meaning if you use a 50mm shoot the shot at 1/200 or faster. If you use a 200mm lens shoot it at 1/800 or faster.

TRUCK SHOT
The orange eye is not tack sharp.
Now what I want to see is that exact same shot in the same light shot at 1/200 and 1/400 always on a tripod, shutter triggered in the exact same way.
