Could someone take a look at these and tell me what they think? I don't even know if I did them right. They were all on a tripod with a delay so I wouldn't mess them up with my shaking. I just got this lens refurbished from Canon and tried it yesterday and I just wasn't pleased. I took a photo of my son and only one eye was in focus. There are a bunch of photos, please let me know if this isn't ok.

These were 1.8 and micro adjustment disabled

I am not having good luck with this lens. I put the focus point on her right eye. Am I doing something wrong?

Still trying to adjust. This is +7 , focus on the right eye (to me the doll's left eye looks not as sharp):

This is +10, focus on the doll's right eye (looks better in my opinion):
