The image requires a Genius Bonus in order to understand what a Stradivarius is.

Even knowing what it is, the caption's pulling all the weight on the picture (as you can't tell just by looking at that picture that the violin's valuable).

The caption and the high-quality look help it along.

Karjam. JAFAAC doesn't mean that "the image has a caption that helps." It means that "The image makes no sense at all without a caption explaining why it's a illustration".

The mention of it being a Strad helps, but the image alone clearly conveys "Something of value found in the trash".

Keep.
