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. In this photo there's too much relying on your title. And even with the title it's not funny. It just looks like a sleeping cat in a locker room of some sorts.

This has a blue cast over the photo

That's a stretch... Nice shot though

The title tries to explain it, but it doesn't excuse the fact that you didn't incorporate cheese in your photograph, which was a requirement of the challenge. Furthermore, the picture's not even "good"; the colors are horrible, and the composition is dull. The cat's adorable, though.

weird blue color kills it - it also seems pretty off-topic i gave it a 3

there is a strange blue glow over the right side of this shot that is very distracting and the colors are all muted

It's a good concept, but there are a few things wrong with this photo:

1) There's a blue cast to the whole thing.
2) The background is odd and doesn't add anything to the photo.
3) The lighting is poor.
4) There are sensor dust spots in the upper right corner.

I think this concept needed a little more development to make a better photo.

and I do not see the smile of the cat!! Framing can be regarded as good, the light and the dominant blue one does not give a beautiful effect.
