This was one of my faves in the challenge, as well. I gave it a 10! Who couldn't love this big cheesy smile? Nice job.

I actually gave this a 10 :)
I like the child's smile which seemed so natural.
Definately "cheese" to me

Even though the idea is not the most orginal one the smile of the girl is orginal and sincere. One of best images.. still. 9.

This is such an adorable portrait. Her eyes just shine!! Love the tilt and the off angle of the frame. Reminds me of those ads for the Hewlitt Packard photo printer. Really good - probaby the best shot of the challenge. I don't even think it's cheesy, but it's so good, I'm giving it a 10 anyway.

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

Adorable! I was of the belief that the pictures had to have actual cheese in them somewhere for this challenge, but this is just too great of a shot of "say cheese" to vote down! A definate shot that should be hanging on a proud parent's wall somewhere. Wonderful job!

Nice photo...it's somewhat off topic...i.e. "Use cheese as the subject of your photo to make your audience smile." I'm giving it a good score anyways, simply because I like the photo.

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.

It's a great photo otherwise, something that would be worthy of a portrait studio. Great exposure, great expression of the kid and an interesting way to frame it all.

Haven't I seen this face somewhere else recently? :-)
Great shot.
I just have to say something negative (as usual) so I mention the reflections in the eyes which are a bit too strong for my eyes.

There's no cheese in this picture. The challenge was to use cheese. There's no cheese in this picture. It's a great shot, but it has nothing to do with the challenge.

Very nice, sharp and the colours are just rigth. Shame about the red spot (pimple?) below the mouth.

Since I am somewhat of a DNMC nazi, I can't give this a high score, but since it's such a good pic and she's so cute, I can't give it a low score either. So a 5 it is.
