6d Focusing Problems

Hello,

 

I've recently purchased a 6d. It's a great camera and I love the look it has, but I'm having all sorts of troubles focusing. I mainly do portraits, and that requires me to consitently hit sharp focus on the eyes. For the life of me I can't do that. I'll focus on the eye using the middle autofocus point and then will recompose and take the picture, but it still won't work. It works half the time, but that's not good enough at all. It's been driving me crazy and I can't confidently go into a shoot. I'm getting paid for shoots also, so this isn't acceptable.

The first picture is not in focus anywhere. That is why I think of camera shake.

The second picture seems good to me on my laptop screen. I can see the details around the eye.

The both pictures are processed through Ps, and that erased some EXIF data. For example I can´t check what AF point you have used, but I suppose the center point because you wrote that before.
