Sorry Karyn, I missed voting on this photo, but would have voted for this caption. I only vote for puns when they have 3 or more facets, which this does: The movie title, the photo description, and the Eiffel Tower scene in the movie. Well done, and apologies for missing it.
True Troompa. Some great captions don't score so well because they have a clever nuance that not everyone picks up on.
Anyway, re puns, I don't think 3 facets is too tough. It can be a double play on the pic as with Karyn's, or a double play in the pun, Welsh Rarebit's "Shark ingested daughter" springs to mind, or the pun-description-joke trio, like Mark England's recent "Gladys pulled a Mussel" caption. It's that third element over the standard pun-description combo that makes them voteworthy, for me.

That's a tough criteria to meet, 3 or more facets, and to pick out too it would seem, if they're getting missed.

Rather lax standards, gents. My vote requires at least 4 facets before I lift a finger.
