Suggestion: Sarcastic Clapping

While the current pic does work fine and is humorous, I find it quite small and not of the best quality.

I suggest... The Joker◊ or Kim Jong-un◊

I'm liking the Joker one.

No real issue with the current, although I do like the Joker one.

Yes, as soon as I saw the article I immediately thought of the Joker's pose.

Joker and current are roughly on the same level for me, save that the current is less visible. Not sure where I stand on Kim.

I'm pretty good with Jong-un and the Joker one ain't too bad either but the trouble is getting the sarcastic part across.

The "sarcastic" part refers to the fact that you are clapping at something that you don't really approve - the facial expressions carry the meaning well.

Hm, just making sure that's all we actually needed. Right now it's flip a coin for current suggestions, either is good.

I think the sarcasm is more obvious in the current image.

Well, I suppose I can manage a simple quality swap if you prefer, and granted the one of Kim Joun-un is more of Fantastically Indifferent Applause but still, I thought it interesting.

EDIT: Some more suggestions, 1◊, 2◊, 3◊, 4◊, 5◊ and, 6◊

I prefer the current. It's also got an actual situation you can probably relate to.

The Joker one is the only one that even comes close.

True.

It's your coin toss really... majority preference.

I found a better quality of the current image.

How about more like images from other games? 1◊, 2◊, 3◊, 4, 5◊

I like number 5 if just for his face

I like it too. That and 1 if just for the eyebrow raise.

Wow, 13.5 is great.

Thanks, its my favorite one!

The only bad thing about 13.5 is the empty space in the middle.

13.5 seems OK for me as well.

I think 13.5 would be a lateral-to-worse change to the current page image.

Here it is at 350. His expression, coupled with the ref looking right at him while giving the yellow card, is what pushes it past the current for me.

Looking at them side by side, I think the current is still slightly better. Both are great, though.

Technically, the ref's disdain is better in the current, but the player's mockery is better in 13.5, IMHO.

If someone here could combine them in one frame, that'd be pretty sweet! EDIT: some more sugs, 1◊, 2◊, other side of the field◊

Does sarcastic clapping have to take place on a football field? Cast yon net further out, young Paktra.

No, but the implication i'm felling here from the rest of "mine brethren" is that the best images are from the games and that I will not find anything better than the current.

Like I said initially, oh Wise Great Treelo of the Trope Woods, I had wanted the Joker or Jay Leno or somthing...
