Can't tell for sure at this size, but the left (her right) eye seems sharp. At f1.4, the dof is pretty thin. Selective focus and B&W are legitimate styles so in that respect this works.
These images work because the subject is so dern cute. I like the lighting too.

Thank you everyone for the comments and the compliments (very appreciated since she is my daughter )
Auntipode, may I ask you how you sharpened the picture without increasing the noise? I normally use highpass, but in this case it wouldn't work because of the noise.
Can't wait for the solstice, winter (no)light is depressing and frustrating ;(
I used Smart Sharpen at 70% amount and 0.2 pixels. Then I applied a small amount of Topaz DeNoise5 filter and then faded the filter to 50%. Makes a nice compromise between noise and softness.
