But if you see carefully there is a hint of motion blur in the eyes/nose and the actual point of focus is in front of the face, i.e. on the water droplets. That is why I would have gone for maybe 2/3 stop narrower aperture and 1/3 faster shutter. Neverthless all this is just like splitting hair. In the end its a great image. Precisely Kirk.

And what a powerful suggestion of our shared creature-hood.
