Hi Steve,
Shooting eyes is probably one of the most difficult subjects to hit and make
absolutely riveting pictures because they have to be as sharp as all get
out! I mean sharper than sharp!

And if they aren't, they just don't cut it.

You have a couple that work and some that don't! Maybe a tighter edit on the
basis of "if in doubt, out!!"  Simply because any doubt whatsoever it's
obvious the shot isn't sharp enough.

It doesn't matter what lens because if you focus right on the eyes with
Leica glass you should cut your fingers on eye reflections! :-)
