i've been looking at just a couple of your images with f1.8, f2.5 or near which as you say seem to lose sharpness ..
this one at f5.6 looks much sharper .. let me know if you find out about that sharpness problem coz i'd love to know too now !!!:)

beautiful portrait .. love her pose and the lighting .. i have no idea about the sharpness .. is it grain or sharpness that you're worried about tho? .. .. could it have anything to do with your fstop .. looks like an excellent lens .. maybe at f2.5 the depth of field is so narrow that you're losing sharpness in the areas that have lost that bit'v focus .. i see by your settings that it probably wasnt too light so you may not have had much of a choice with your fstop .. i like to keep iso100 to cut down on grain .. maybe you could try iso200 and a higher fstop? .. moving targets can be a pain!! .. i'm no expert tho .. just an idea and someone else will probably know exactly wot you could do ... good luck .. :)

19. Hands

as a thumb i was unsure wot i would find when i opened it up .. love this photograph .. we all have our blessings and our curses, or the things that make us curse possibly !!! .. being obsessed with photography i love how those wretched hands are holding a camera !! .. i'd say one of her blessings is that you are her friend .. a person who tries to understand and accommodate our frailties is a wonderful blessing indeed .. i cant even imagine how difficult it would be for her .. :)
