In our family, we always think of Wallace and Gromit when we think of cheese! :D Any suggestions for making this stronger?

    Wallace and Gromit, eh? ne_nau.gif No "A Grand Day Out" fans here? Maybe it just needs to be more cleverly done. Oh well... I'll keep thinking! :D

    Well, I just saw it and it made me smile. For sure if my granddaughter could vote, she would vote for it.

    If you're going to reshoot, maybe you could have Gromit guarding the cheese while Wallace tries to get at it.

    Wallace might want to hold some of the cheese, but other than that, I think your photo is wearing the right trousers.

    Hate to admit I really don't read Wallace and Gromit, but from the stance of Gromit, you could put him in front of the cheese guarding it (like Virginia has suggested) and perhaps Wallace could be in charge of the crackers, hoping to get at the cheese ... if you get my drift.

    Ah! I see some people are familiar with these two! :D (If you don't know, they are claymation characters whose adventures can be seen in the shorts called: "A Grand Day Out," "The Wrong Trousers," and "A Close Shave." Their first feature length film came out in 2005 called "The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" which I highly recommend! :D The same company produced "Chicken Run.") Anyhoo, Wallace is a cheese-a-holic, so that's how I arrived at this idea for this challenge. Maybe I'll try a re-shoot tomorrow. Thanks for the ideas and comments, folks!

    Elaine,

    You're a stitch! Can the cheese be made to look more proportional to the charcters? That's the only thing that stands out to me. Cool shot.

    Can you add a Were-Rabbit? Oh, maybe that would be better for a "carrots" challenge. rolleyes1.gif

    I agree with Dizzy. I like the tighter shot of the two and the presentation of the cheese
