I remember seeing this shot and thinking it would have scored higher, especially since everyone else had some cards up their sleeves. I really can't believe the final average score was less then a 5. I like that you chose to de-saturate as opposed to just going black and white, it gives the shot a little more character in my opinion. I also really like how you filled the entire frame. I think the facial expression is very prefect for the Cheater challenge. It would probably been hard for the model to bring the other eyebrow a little lower because of her high brows. I give her and you credit for letting you get so close. On my screen I see something on her nose, possibly an eyelash it just looks a little of in a close up like this. I think this is a very good piece, I just think voters are just wanting to see more of the actual cheating taking place.

She doesn't look like she is cheating to me.

Not bad. For me, I wish it wasn't cropped so tightly under the nose. Nice to see something else besides aces up a sleeve.

The look that precedes a furtive act. Lol Very nice expression.

A very slight increase in depth of field would have kept the nose in focus. This is a really clever and subtle picture.
