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

the girls are cute, the photography needs work. didn't anyone ever tell you not to shoot with back lighting unless you wanted a silhouette?

Snapshot suffers from blown and busy background, poor lighting of subjects.

A little off topic, "Use cheese as the subject of your photo to make your audience smile." Cute kids though. The blownout background is distracting.

Where's the cheese?

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.

Cute kids but I don't feel it meets the challenge. Also, technical aspects of this photo could use some improvement. The overexposed background is a significant distraction.

The background is over exposed

There's no cheese in this picture. The challenge was to use cheese. There's no cheese in this picture. Also, the colors are horribly weak. Sorry. (Cute little girls, though — :-D.)

Too backlit, I'm afraid. Maybe mid-level lighten up. Nice subject material.

The faces look a little overexposed because of the bright background. Cute though.

edit: should say underexposed

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

Cute kids. Try a darker background with lighting on the subject to make it better.
