Use cheese as the subject of your photo to make your audience smile.

Way off topic..."Use cheese as the subject of your photo to make your audience smile." Too bad, the pic would get a higher score if the topic was something like dance, entertainment, etc.

Say Cheese!: The old photographer's cliché is now a challenge topic. Use cheese as the subject of your photo to make your audience smile.

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.

Having said that, it's a very good portrait and has some great colors in it.

Tired idea, and not the best executed of the entries in this class.

I don't see a reference to cheese here! The photo looks great but to me it doesn't meet the challenge! Sorry!

A face extremely marked and returned very well on this stereotype, the colors are harmonious, good contrast and the composition well is well carried out.
