Call someone's bluff (=poner en evidencia).
Explanation: Usually used to state that you do not believe what someone is saying or that you think they are exaggerating. Also used in poker.
Examples: I called his bluff and he admitted he had made up the whole story. - I called his bluff - he only had an Ace and a pair of twos.
Can't make heads or tails of something: (=No encontrar ni pies ni cabeza, no tener sentido") John is so strange. I can't make heads or tails of him. Do this report again. I can't make heads or tails out of it.

Can't see the forest for the trees (= Los arboles no dejan ver el bosque): you can't see the entire forest because the trees are in the way. Something small prevents the view or understanding of something large.
