I hate to be playing English teacher here or come off as a DNMC critic, especially that English is NOT my native language but dissecting the description makes it pretty clear:
USE CHEESE as the SUBJECT of your photo to make YOUR AUDIENCE SMILE.
Based on the capitalized letters I had the following expectations in this challenge:
1. There would be cheese (even if implied) in the photo (Cheddar, Swiss, Gouda...etc). This cheese would be the SUBJECT of the photo. (Subject - Synonyms: matter, topic, theme. These nouns denote the principal idea or point of a speech, a piece of writing, or an artistic work.)
2. This is open to discussion but by Audience I would assume either the voters, or, someone in the photo looking at cheese
3. the photo would be somewhat funny as to make me smile.
After reviewing your photo, I feel it does not meet the challenge either because there is no cheese in the photo or because it's not funny. Or both.
There's no cheese in this picture. The challenge was to use cheese. There's no cheese in this picture. You didn't even try to abide by the challenge's requirement, as is evinced by your title. It's a great picture, but it ends up getting a "1."
The focus looks soft to me. Also, where's something to do with cheese? He's not smiling. There's no 'physical' cheese in the photo. I'm sorry but to me it doesn't meet the challnge. Sorry!
I have no idea what this has to do with Cheese, unless his shirt is made of it. He's not mugging for the camera in the standard "say cheese" pose... so I don't know.
