If you don't, then Google "runaway bride" and look at her eyes.
I have a general rule that I call "The Owens Top-of-the-Iris Rule" or "The Iris Apex Rule". (*Notice: I call 'trademark', no stealing the phrase without giving me credit!) This rule basically implies that bad things are about to happen to - or near people who are photographed, with increasing frequency, with their eyes cranked so widely opened that you can actually see the top of their iris. It's a facial expression that says "Dammit. I forgot to take my meds again this morning." It's the same look you'd have on your face if you suddenly woke-up and discovered that your normal, every day life had ended and that you were now the lead character in the a Clive Barker movie.
I haven't done any serious research on the supposition, I haven't collected or collated any statistics, in actuality, this is really more of a theory than a rule. I'm just hypothesizing this rule based on my own personal visual observations and my own extrapolated hypothetical proposition that, if I were about to plowed down by a tandem axle 18 wheel gravel truck, for instance, one would quite likely be able to see the top of my iris about a half a second before the truck impacts my face.
Try this highly scientific experiment: Go into your bathroom, drop your pants, stare into the bathroom mirror with your face about 12 inches from the glass and stick a straight pin into your buttocks. Compare the expression on your face to any of these pictures.
(a.k.a.: 'Apex Iris Rule')
