Here is a picture I took of my girlfriend using 6D + 85 1.8. It was shot in a hotel bathroom in Singapore, and the mirror had two row of leds which provided a nice lighting.

Converted in LR4.

That's a decent candid portrait--maybe a little too much headroom ? I'd probably move the eyes to the 'third' position when cropping down from the top.

Thank you both for your feedback! When I get back home tonight I'll try to crop it as you suggest and I'll post the result here

I loved Singapore! quite a mix of modernity and tradition. Indeed only her right right is in focus the DOF is quite small at 1.8. I think that her left eye being much darker also makes it seem less sharp
