Aaron,
I liked Michaels action but I sure thought her eye was directed at you and 
camera creating more of a distraction than an addition. Despite her 
re-action is quite spontaneous.

Put your hand on the screen and cut her off, you'll see Michael comes across 
with more effect! However you can't crop it like that as you'd cut his arm 
or hand off. That of course is a no no as it spoils his action and body 
language.
