Sucky focus photographer : )

I'm still working on the raw class so I don't know how to do all the raw processing just yet but I'm also having focusing issues.  I don't know if its actually me focusing poorly or some other setting I'm not doing properly.  Can you help me yet or should I finish up the raw class first?  I tried the noise removal link but I can't tell up from down on the noise yet  (hoping I'll learn that better in the raw class ?)

Sure.  This doesn't have noise removed as I can't figure that out yet.  I can tell it's not focused properly but I get a lot of images like this.  I'm unsure if I'm just missing the focus and need more practice with that or if I have some other problem.  Shot with Nikon d860, iso 64, 1/200, f/2.  135 mm nikon lens.  Thank you for any advice.

I don’t know why I asked that. You wouldn’t just say that. Maybe I just don’t know what decent focus looks like at a farther distance from the subject and I’m expecting eyelashes at this distance. Would this be worth editing or trash it?  Should I see eyelashes at this distance?

This is an excellent question.
