HI COLLETTE , THE VERTICAL ONE. HERE IS A PORTRAIT RULE OF THUMB: IF IT IS TALLER THEN IT IS WIDE IT IS VERTICAL- IF IT IS WIDER THEN IT IS TALL -HORIZONTAL. A USUSALLY HARD RULE IN PORTRAITS - AND HELPS IN EVERYTHING ELSE-BUT SOMETIMES THE ARTIS EYE TAKE A CREATIVE TURN AND THATS GREAT TO. IN THIS CASE MY VOTE IS FOR THE VERTICAL,THE DELICATE STEM SHOWING - ITS CAPTURED BEAUTIFULY. HOPE THIS HELPS. DEBBY

Debby, Don't take chances with your health. High blood pressure can definitely affect your eyesight, and the symptoms are exactly what you are describing. Relax, follow your doctor's advice, and press the key near your left pinky that says "caps lock". Have a nice day.

Hi, I love this image! I too suggest going with the vertical. Also, you asked for an honest critic, I love the lighting, but one thing to watch is that the image isn't in sharp focus, focus is super important especially when dealing with macro photography. Also, it just may be my eyes, but the image looks grainy, maybe knock the ISO down a little bit. Other than that; beautiful image of the iris.

Collette, now that I look at the large version, I agree with Julie, it does look a little grainy.

I was using ISO 400, but maybe I should have gone smaller,thanks for the heads up!! Also, everyone keeps telling me that my images look soft, and for the life of me I cant figure out what Im doing wrong, they always look completely sharp through the veiw finder. Any guesses?!! The only other thing I can think that it may be is the fact that I have to scan them in from the actual print, and my scanner it very high end!! Thanks again everyone for your honesty, I love all of the suggestions I get!!! -Collette-

First off, where are you getting your photos developed? Because they might "soften" images a little. If your viewfinder shows a sharp image then the negitive should be as sharp. So personally, I would scan the negitive instead.

I get my film developed (im sorry to say!) at my local grocery store. Horrid I know, but with as much film as I shoot its all I can afford, since Im not making any money with my photos yet, though I am trying!!! Also I dont have a film scanner so that would be why I havent done that, but I will have to look into that. Also why would the lab soften my pictures? I will try and see if I can get them to put my negs. on CD for me,(and see if I can afford it or not!!) Thanks for the suggestions!!! -Collette-

I bought my negitive scanner online for $200.00 and when I get my negs processed I just get the negs processed no prints, it cuts down on the costs majorly!

Thanks I wish I had done that before!! I didnt know if they would just do the negs. or not!!! Thanks a bunch!! -Collette-
