Shame about the "horizon" background - would have "lifted the picture if it had been consistent instead of split.
Unfortunatly the cheese looks a bit dry. If I was submitting this as my work for publication (though I try and avoid food shots, they are hard) I would have put glycerine/water on it to get it looking fresh.
I do like the shot though - the lighting from the back works for me.
But
I will copy a note I have copied to many entries in this category.

My only concern is, as you may have guessed from the amount of discussion on the forum re "painting with light" is whether it is "painting with light". It is not obviously so.
Having been lucky enough to judge what is now a few hundred competitions in the last 30 years I feel I should say the first thing that happens is that they are sorted and any that do not immediatly seem to fit the category are dumped (hard but a fact). This is why so many competitions also run an "open category". Your picture, as impressive as it is, would, I feel have been rejected at this stage. "Painting with Light" has a fairly tight definition in photography but still allows a lot of lattitude for creativity.
I suspect that your scores may not reflect what the picture is worth which is a great shame. I believe if I was judging in another category I would have marked higher.
I do hope you understand my reasons for marking it down
