Yes, its ready. The other pic - perhaps just a little too long, but very well done - not the easiest crop to grow. When the curd starts to grow some people recommend bending the middle leaves over to cover it and keep it clean and white.

Agree you are not going to get the huge curds they sell in supermarkets... enjoy!

Very good, Ben, especially for a first try! It should still taste good, but there will be a difference in texture. Next year, apply a little more organic nitrogen and potash--alfalfa meal is a good source--before planting, and harvest at a little earlier stage.
