Challenge: Say Cheese! (Basic Editing III)

Aperture: 2.8

Date Uploaded: Dec 11, 2005

 I always found DpChallenge fascinating, and always found it really hard to join because of the time frame, especially when work is consuming all your time. But I made it this time :) Glad I could join,

I tried setting the location for shooting in my little office, but many elements were distracting and interfering, so we moved to the bedroom, a little Chair, pulled the curtain all the way to the ground, my new tripod and let the fun begin :)

In this Photo, there is no Chees, it is pronounced only :)

All what I’ve done to this image is:
Levels
Histogram stretching
Sharpen,
Reduce noise
Resizing for the challenge
Hope you like it,
Regards all

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.


Thanks you for your honest Critique and Explanation, It is my mistake that didn't pay more attention to the topic Thanks once again and appreciate your time. Cheers,

It seems I was out of topic, I don't know how the heck I didn't get the meaning :) Any way, it is a try, more to come latter :) Thanks for your comment dear, Cheers,

Where's the cheese? Spooky picture.

Awesome picture!! It's off the topic. "Use cheese as the subject of your photo to make your audience smile." I'm still giving it a good score. Congrats!

Did she burn her hair for this one? Nice job with the shadows, looks perfectly exposed for the lighting you had here.

There's no cheese in this picture. The challenge was to use cheese. There's no cheese in this picture.

Beautiful picture. Love the sparks and the shadow is terrific.

i think this would have been better if she wasn't so close to wall, so the entire background went dark - i gave it a 6

Technically it's an interesting shot. I do like the gigantic shadow.

Unfortunatley, it's a tired idea, and not the best executed of the entries in this class.
