Sorry for the 'drab' photo but I'm working with vertically stitched photos and changing my focus point in each one of the five to see how they blend. The bottom first image is sharp enough and the very top is sharp. The center image around the small blue table is OOF.
I used to always focus about 30% in from the foreground and let the rest fall into place but that doesn't seem to work all the time and in close quarters, its obvious some more adjustment is necessary.
Any advise would be very much appreciated.

I'm using TS-E 24MM L3.5 II lens on a Canon 5D3.
