caption over image

One picture, one line of text laid across it. The line renames what the picture shows, and the picture then reads as evidence for the renaming. Neither half makes the claim on its own, which is why the pairing is hard to argue with. The test is simple: swap the line for a different one. If the same picture agrees just as readily, the picture was never evidence and the line was doing all of it.

Example

Best when you have one image that genuinely shows the thing and one sentence that names what it is an instance of.
