I see a vase just fine, and for added assistance, there is a big red arrow pointing it out.

I see part of a vase and a guy doing something against a door.

Seeing the entirety of the vase really isn't that necessary to understanding the trope.
Still, I suppose if it is that important to you, we could go with:

Hi
The last one is fine with me.
A pocketful of saudade.
4.1 isn't bad either.
The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.
If we use 4:1 it needs to be cropped to put the emphasis on the action and not the chandelier.
What I like about the other picture is that it was a very strong case of lampshaded foreshadowing, which goes well with the idea that the trope is not just about breaking vases but valuable things appearing for the purpose of being broken.
Could someone try combining the two into a two-part picture, showing both the foreshadowing and the actual breakage?

About cropping out the chandelier... Possibly, but that's not necessarily an improvement, as it may mess up the composition.

That is an excellent picture.

Yea, I'm an Ouran fan, but I love the picture with the guy giving the vase a butt shove.
Hi
+1 for butt bumpage. One or two more votes and we can run with it.

It just does a great job of getting the whole trope in one image.

Hi
Alright, we're good. I'm gonna add it to the page; caption or no?
EDIT: Done, with the link to the full pic added and the photographer's name noted in the tag.

I think this works better with no caption.
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!
Yeah, the image tells enough of a story all on it's own.

Is it possible to get an image where you can actually see the vase?
