It's a bit beyond my level, I tend to do the 1/3 in and make a judgement on what aperture is necessary. One thing I have being doing more of recently with portraits of two people together is (if I can) to try and get them level to the camera. If not I have noticed that getting the eyes of the subject that is slightly forward sharp makes a better image than the rear, subconsciously when photographing two people I know I was always focusing on my favourite of the two until recently.

I have also begun to wonder recently how it is that some people have faces that autofocus just snaps sharply on and others don't. My sister has a son (three) and a daughter (two), Autofocus is spot on every time with the daughter but really struggles with her son. It's not just my photos this effects, it is apparent in a lot of photos the family have taken.
