Pathetic attempted at constructing a log house of cheese.
I adjusted the levels, constrast and Unsharp Mask. Discovered afterwards that I had forgetten to reset the ISO from an attempt to catch something of interest for the 4:00 - 5:00 a.m. challenge earlier that morning.

Adorable set up. Right down to a little door knob. Good work. I like the way the roof actually looks like shingles, and I like the added snow. Is that cheese or actual snow? Maybe a shake or 2 of parmesan cheese would have been cute too. Actually, looks like a shake of cheese on the roof, but snow on the ground.
The only real issue I have with the photo is that the focus seems soft to me. Now, I have taken a photo of cheese for a challenge and it turned out soft looking no matter how hard I tried and by looking at a lot of the entries, I think it's just maybe the texture of the cheese that makes it look like it's out of focus, when maybe it really isn't.
So...Not sure which is the case here.
Lighting appears to be good. No distracting shadows or bright spots. Nothing distracting there.
I like the addition of the little walkway and the trees. I think this gives it a very realistic appearance.
Overall a fun image that is technically well done and very creative. Wish I could offer some advice on how to make it appear more crisp, but my attempt on cheese failed in that department too.
