One thing I'm really happy about with what I shot last night is that I stopped it down quite a bit. I shot everything at f/11 and got the detail I was looking for.
Just because my lens goes as wide as f/1.4, that doesn't mean that's where I should be all the time

I usually try to stay between 5.6 to f/8. A lot of lenses have diffraction around f/11 or slower.

That shot looks good as far as lighting and exposure, but it needs some sharpening and I'm not too sure how I feel about how tight the crop is.

That reflection above her eye is really distracting, too.
