What makes a great picture?
Talk to the hand!
I really had intended to give the soccer pictures a rest but this one from Miguel Vidal in Portugal was too good to resist and it isn’t the usual ”jubo” or action picture.
In fact to understand and enjoy it as a picture you do not need to know that it is a moment from a soccer match or even the specific detail of the incident, (Porto’s Raul Meireles (R) argues with referee Olegario Benquerenza during their Portuguese Premier League soccer match against Guimaraes at Dragon stadium in Porto December 15, 2007).
The image is so simple and eloquent that the caption information is almost a distraction.

Its a classic and Dave, i agree, it needs nothing more-not even a caption. It speaks for itself and the message is clear: just talk to the hand now, won’t you?!
