Hello everyone.
I took my daughter today for a walk again. Wind was quite noticeable, time of the day wasn't perfect as well, but she said she wants to go anyway. I took one shot that I like

.. but am not happy with sharpness of the eye I was focusing on. The main intention was to add some movement to the photo and to give it slightly windy feel, but it looks to me like I managed to mess it up properly.
Of course it could be much sharper, sadly is it not due to camera shake or missed focus - can anyone tell me what is the cause?. Her hair was blown all over her face and left eye and focus struggled for a bit, but finally settled down so I could press the shutter button and till I saw this photo on laptop, I thought I have a keeper.
If it's camera shake, I guess I'll have to drink less coffee or get lens with VR (tripod would be useless in that spot, I was standing on the edge), but is there anything I could do to prevent problems with focus in such conditions? Is manual focusing the only option?
As always, I will be grateful for any tips/hints/pointers.
Regards
Tom
