Very thin DOF + high MP and the low contrast of this lens wide open, especially off center.
These are my observations as well, which is one reason why I seldom use the 40/1.4 on my A7r.

Looking at that foto it looks like you missed focus as there is a band of the pebbles in front of her that seems sharper than her face.
I don\'t think there is enough information in the photo to judge solely based on where the plane of focus intersects - e.g. we don\'t know the degree of tilt involved, nor how much field curvature (if any) is involved.
Based on guesswork though, I\'d say that this was shot pointing up, the \"pebbles\" is in fact a wall, and the girl is looking down -- so there is a significant degree of tilt that will make the plane of focus cut through the pebbles in front of the girl, rather than perpendicular to her.
