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

I very nice photo. It's a little off topic, but a nice photo anyways. "Use cheese as the subject of your photo to make your audience smile."

Where's the cheese?

It's a moderatley interesting portrait, but it's link to the challenge (which specified actual cheese) isn't there. It also looks quite washed out as a B&W... I wonder if you couldn't have added more contrast in the post processing (or left it color).

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's no cheese in this picture. The challenge was to use cheese. There's no cheese in this picture.

-2 for lack of cheese,
-1 for dog

Otherwise, reasonably good capture, especially of the freckles. Dogs eyes/face need to stand out more. (5)

Wrong challenge, maybe?!?!? I don't see the Cheese.
12/14/2005 10:52:35 AM
Hey, you got them both smiling!

For only one photograph two beautiful smiles. Good composition, good lighting but a lack of contrast. Beautiful work
