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

You're kidding right? It's a little off topic, "Use cheese as the subject of your photo to make your audience smile."

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.

What a wierd looking dude!!! Only one comment is with your composure, it is better when your subject is looking into the frame not out of it.

Nice facial expression. Personally I'd have composed with the negative space on the left considering the direction you gave to the shot.

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