Also, are you sure it isn't a camera shake issue or subject motion from using too slow a shutter speed?
Thanks, Inkista. I am reasonably sure that it not due to camera shake or motion of the subjects. And, yes, it is the eyes that I concentrate on. A shot will look OK on my LCD, but I zoom in real close on the eye to be sure and that is how I can tell. You got me thinking though, that I am not the same distance from the subject even though they are parallel to each other. I might be off to the side and not straight on.

Thanks!
