Great idea, a bit forced to fit the challenge.

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

Honestly not sure what this has to do with cheese, or even what I am looking at.

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.

There is too much going on to get the meaning of this photo

I would have like it with more DOF and both were in focus. Great Idea!

kinda blurry and hard to conceptualize

Where's the cheese?
12/14/2005 01:36:25 PM
I don't see the cheese!

I seek cheese it does not have there, there are beautiful reflections but to cut cheese I do not understand

Photo is confusing. Doesn't make me smile.

Good idea and arrangement. Try stopping down for more DOF, as there is too much out-of-focus foreground. Also consider flipping the image horizontally so it can be read.
