Repost for some comments.

Not a great shot but just need some feedback to see if the focus point is considered sharp enough for manual focus.

Reason being, i notice what the camera choose for me and what i think is sharp in viewfinder got abit difference, not sure issit because wear contact lens aim will abit pa jiao...eye tired easily

think the focus point could be shifted abit more to the left on the left button. the bokeh on the other button is pretty distracting though :s

not sure if i read you correctly but i think you can set your AF point to center..focus and then recompose while half pressing the shutter

To counter your blue.... orange!!

Instead of offshoe flash I used a LED flashlight to make the orange glow.
