Just a Face and a Caption: Conveniently Placed Sharp Thing

I found a much better-fitting image for this page that emphasizes the "conveniently placed" part of the trope. Current is just a picture of a tied-up chick with a knife in her jands, and it violates Show, Don't Tell by having the caption pull most of the weight in telling you how it's relevant in any way.

Good enough. It's in and tagged, downsize to 250 px. Caption?

Wait, we're taking decisions in three hours now? :)

I frankly have no idea what's going on in the suggested image, but the focus appears to be on something going IIIIIII and something else making AAAAGH noises. But seriously, what?

That gets a [tdown] from me.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

"She ain't cutting the rope, though..."

^ She's tied up to a pipe and is eyeing a shard of glass at her feet, implying she's thinking of using it to cut herself free.

[up][up] The background is blurred and the woman and sharp object on the ground are in focus. Depth of Field keeps the action on her finding something to free herself with. The background demonstrates why it's conveniently placed and timed. It seems pretty clear to me.

"She's got a sharp eye for detail. He doesn't."

^ How about shortening it to "She's got a sharp eye for detail." And the guy in blue in the background? That's also a lady.

"She's got a sharp eye for detail." works for me.

We've got just enough consensus for "She's got a sharp eye for detail." It's in and tagged; locking up.
