The cropped photo stands alone, without a caption. Any PJ worth his/her salt 
captions his photos. I understand the shooter was ~not~ a PJ and besides, the 
shooter only did what any good photo editor (me) would have done: ruthlessly 
crop the original photo until there was a story which could be told with that 
small, missing  caption.
