You'd probably be more pleased with the sharpness of your shots if you cranked the ISO a bit to increase your shutter speed. I think 1/15 is a little slow for portraits. Norm

Hint.. never shoot at a shutter speed lower then your focal length... That rule of thumb doesn't apply to tripod work, which I assume this shot was. 1/15 is still pretty slow for shooting people even with a tripod, but you'll get some keepers.
