No, I think there is still room for some liner notes. A short sentence or two can help frame the image and increase a chance of shared understanding. The idea of a photo that stands on its own is a worthy one but there is plenty of precedent for some extra text (see many gallery displays and art books) and it does help create a view of an image that will probably be looked at briefly by most people (certainly the mods who have between now and Friday evening to shortlist and pick winners from all the eligible posts!).

BTW, we are past 8am GMT on Wednesday 11 November so the contest is now

CLOSED

although the assignment continues.
