In portraiture, the subject's facial expression, along with their body posture and pose, can be very important. Even if technically the photograph has great light, composition and exposure, the portrait can fail to adequately communicate a meaning, emotion or message. As the photographer, the message might be obvious to you, but for someone who doesn't know anything about the subject, the judges feel that the expression or posing could be strengthened.
