  cause you focused about where the ear is.
guess pictures included in a question are going to show up on the q&a page as well. That's going to take up a lot of space.

  Didn't somebody make a movie about women having that far-off look in their eyes, right before people started dissapearing?

  Cindy, try to increase your light source so you can increase your F stop. That should help to incorporate more of the head. Try that. :o)

  Thanks for all the advice.
- I used auto focus. I've tried to move the "box" on the center to where I want to focun on. But I red on the manual, it coud be moved only if you used manual focus....
Do I miss something ?

- Stupid question : What is "F stop" ?

THANKS a lot !

  Cindy,
I don't know what kind of camera you have, but I would bet you can select the Autofocus point only if the camera is not in the Autoexposure mode.

Since you're asking what an F-stop is, I would assume that you have the camera set on Full Auto.

Tell us what kind of camera you are using, for starters.

  Hi, Thanks for advice. My camera is Canon Powershot Pro1, with 8 megapixel. Just bought specially for taking picture for my Ebay repaint doll auction.

On the manual I learned that I've to press the shutter button halfway. Until the AF frame appear green. BUT, on the auto focus, the AF frame can't be moved. So the result is picture turned sharp ONLY in the center area, while not sharp on the rest area..

As on the pisture above, ONLY neck area looks sharp, but NOt sharp on the face...
Any advice would be appreciated.

THANKS a LOT, Cindy
