I was hoping to get a better reflection with perhaps more than just a dark background reflected in the iris and a little more of his smile in the shot ... though this was the best I could do with the time I had! Many thanks to my dad for putting up with me while we tried to get this shot.

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.
although this is a great shot (so much detail i can see the photographers reflection in the eye) im not getting the cheese the eye doesnt even give me the impression of happyness or a smile (which would hapeen when saying "cheese")
The focus on this is soft. For me it's really pushing it to make the challenge because I can't see anything relating to the topic, even though the subject may be smiling. It's a tough one....but....
